WINTER 2024

We have been delinquent with the updates over the last few years often engrossed with projects, teaching, and family obligations – life. The pandemic has forced us to reflect on our personal losses and health, and the immediate impact on our creative goals has encouraged us to put almost everything on pause.

2021 marked a 30 year milestone for us unfortunately it was bittersweet with the Lockdowns. Things are slowly opening up but it is going to be awhile at best as we play catch up, slowly, in 2022/23.

In the interim there will be some new film works coming out later this year. Some old pieces and old ideas that will finally see the light of day.

We are trying to sort the schedule out to start classes up again. Please check out studios1.ca for details.

Stay Safe!!

THEVARS SUMMER 2020

Combining high art conventions with folk metaphor and eastern dance ideals with western idioms into his signature raw brute force, Canadian Choreographer Gabreïl Spiegelschrift has created what Dance International has called “gutsy and distinct” live performances and award winning dance film projects that have been presented and broadcasted through out Canada, the United States and Europe.

Created in 1991 the contemporary dance theatre and film ensemble THEVARS has been centred around Spiegelschrift's mesh of ancient and esoteric inspirations with cutting edge dance theatre. Since 2004 Canadian Dancer and Creator Karen Rose has been featured in the projects.
