Artistic excellence combined with social relevance has been the hallmark of Judith Marcuse’s career as one of Canada’s most creative and innovative choreographers. One of her most profound accomplishments has been working with youth through her company, DanceArts, to create and present three important projects, ICE, FIRE, and EARTH which attempt to communicate the voice of young people, their critical issues and potential solutions. ‘Life-Changing and empowering’ is youth response to Judith’s collaborative presentations. She stands as an example of an artist who has given her best to her art form and to the society of which she is part, a citizen of originality, spirit, imagination and dedication.
