BJ and I had a lovely visit on Thursday … wandered around some of the galleries in town. BJ found a wonderful bracelet that was more of a work of art than jewelery. After supper we went to the Artist Talks and saw Margie’s film that CBC produced ten years ago. She answered questions from the small audience after that. Ms. Gillis is an amazing Canadian dancer that apparently is better known outside of Canada than in. We Canadians don’t quite know how to celebrate our own artists! For shame.

Friday’s performance was wonderful. She has such energy and her ability with the tiniest movement to convey a wealth of ideas is totally amazing. If you ever have a chance to see Ms. Gillis perform, don’t miss it!

I got a call from BJ, my friend and former supervisor at the Yellowknife Public Library. She is coming to Whitehorse with her friend just so they can go to the Margie Gillis performance on Friday night. They are staying with their UBC friend who I have also worked with in my present position. But I have negotiated BJ’s company for an afternoon and evening on Thursday. This will be fun.
