Modern Workshop with Debbie Wilson - March 2nd 2008

SWS was extremely fortunate to have with us Debbie Wilson! Students from Junior to Senior levels were in awe of Debbie's wealth of knowledge. She challenged students to think about dance in a completely new way. Students were asked to create shapes with their bodies many did not know was possible and turned and jumped in an entirely different way than they were used to.
 
Debbie definitely opened our young dancers eyes to the world outside ballet and jazz. Modern differs so very much from the styles of dance our students are accustomed to and many were being introduced to the style of modern dance for the first time. It was a wonderful experience for all students, and Debbie told us she had much fun teaching all of our students! We look forward to seeing her again in the future.

Debbie Wilson - Workshop Instructor

Choreographer Debbie Wilson is the Artistic Director and Founder of OMO Dance Company for which she has created a repertoire of critically acclaimed productions, including Aphrodite Unveiled, Raphael is whispering and Homo Office Sapiensis that in 2002 received a Dora Mavor Moore nomination for "Outstanding New Choreography".

Through her international collaborative works like Planetarium (with Macedonia) and Diary of an Exile (with Trinidad and Tobago) she has introduced outstanding foreign artists in dance, music and art to Toronto while representing Toronto and Canada on the world stage. In October 2005, Wilson was honored to be invited to present Planetarium at the United Nations' Assembly Hall in Geneva, Switzerland for one of the events celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the United Nations.

Wilson is a dance and social activist who believes in using her art to forge ties between people and cultures through long-term projects that foster greater understanding between the participants. Her choreographic themes reflect our current social environment and provide insights to the beauty and truth of the human condition that audiences have found moving, relevant, accessible and most of all, powerful.

Wilson has established links with and she continues to work with an expanding list of local and international community social groups that provide aid in the health and social sectors. For the past six years, she was a Board Member of the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation, serving on the Fundraising, Communications, Strategic Planning and Bike Rally Committees.

Wilson began her professional career with the Cincinnati Ballet Company at the age of 12 where she was promoted to soloist and rehearsal assistant. She has worked as dancer/rehearsal mistress for The American Dance Machine, Les Ballets Jazz de Montreal, Howard Richard & Dancers and Ballet Jorgen. She has also worked for the Judith Marcuse Repertory Dance Company, the Randy Glynn Dance Project as well as many independent choreographers across Canada and the US.

Ms. Wilson's rich background as dancer, teacher and rehearsal director reflects a lifetime of work with some to the greatest artists of our time, a lifetime reflected in her resonant choreographic voice.
