The Legacy Project

Description

The Legacy Project is an umbrella program within Karen Jamieson Dance, which has five components that are concerned with the preserving and the passing on of Karen Jamieson’s life’s work. The Legacy Project has been recognized as an important tool: to capture and share a unique and pioneering body of work by one of Canada’s contemporary dance innovators, a vital element in preserving an ephemeral art form, and a potential valuable resource to the greater community.
