Margarita & Family of Jazz

Welcome to the family! Experience the joy of jazz over and over again with the digital capture of this exciting double-bill by Holla Jazz (Toronto) and Decidedly Jazz Danceworks (Calgary).

Fall for Dance North continues to invest in high-quality filmmaking with the original broadcast edition of our Toronto performance of Margarita & Family of Jazz to our digital audiences locally, nationally and globally.

Natasha Powell and Kimberley Cooper, the 2021/22 John and Claudine Bailey FFDN Artists-in-Residence, bring us two energetic new jazz works, captured by director Miha Matevzic, an accomplished director and a jazz dancer himself. While Natasha and her all-female cast unveil the world premiere of FFDN-commissioned Margarita, inspired by the lives of chorus girls from the early 1900s, Decidedly Jazz Danceworks offers the Ontario premiere of the gloriously joyful Family of Jazz by Kimberley.

And as Kimberley says, “there’s nothing to get and everything to feel” - so embrace this moment together with us, wherever you are in the world!
