	Eye Weekly - Dance - 11.28.96
		The CBC special Margie Gillis: Wild Hearts In Strange Times may not move you to tears or bring you to your feet (typical reactions to Gillis live), but it's nonetheless a riveting and insightful hour-long exploration of the Gillis mystique.
		When Gillis refers to her frequent childhood pacts with God, or her relationship with her brother, who died of AIDS several years ago, the veil is lifted a little on this unique artist - an artist anyone can relate to, regardless of their feelings about dance.
		As Gillis sees it, Wild Hearts In Strange Times is an extension of her distinguished performance career, one that could potentially introduce a whole new audience to dance.

	Willamette Week \| Culture \| Perf
		Soloist Margie Gillis is a dancer of both the dark and light.
		Gillis possesses the same interpretive intelligence as Draper, and, though she chooses to translate the human experience through movement and mimetic gesture, the electric, raw-edged honesty generated on stage is equally
		Gillis has said of her work, "I try to strike a universal chord with my characterizations, and I try, most of all, to dance with integrity." As Draper did, Gillis performs from the inside out.

		Along with pieces by Juilliard student choreographers, the work of two outstanding modern choreographers will be presented: world-renowned Canadian artist Margie Gillis will be featured in works from her extensive repertoire, and faculty member Pat Catterson dances in her new piece with Juilliard students.
		She’s brave, not shrinking away from matters of the heart unwilling to hole up in the cerebrum, she accesses the regions nearer the solar plexus, the place from which we laugh or cry.
		As a dancer and dance-goer, I’ve gotten a lot of formative exposure to Margie Gillis and her stage art, chiefly through my fortunate proximity to her brother Christopher, while both of us were in the Paul Taylor Company.
