"Judy Jarvis was a creator through the 1960's - 1980's, a period which gave birth to the creation, support and recognition of modern dance in Canada. During this fertile time in history she created strong, visionary works and was an inspirational teacher until her death in 1986. (...) As a step in furthering this commitment, the Danny Grossman Dance Company is joining together with Dance Collection Danse ans the Judy Jarvis Dance Foundation to produce this portrait of one of the significant players in this undocumented, yet remarkable period of Canadian dance."-- P. 3.[-]

"(...) was a three-day scholars' gathering hosted by Université du Québec à Montréal's dance department in May 2000. The conference focussed specifically on historical, critical and aesthetic research on dance conducted by and about Canadians. 'Canadian Dancing Bodies Then and Now / Les corps dansants d'hier à aujourd'hui au Canada' was a first such venture in its choice to dwell solely on Canadian content and thus bring greater visibility to this research area. Its "co-lingual" format left the choice to presenters to speak either in French or in English. The proceedings that arose from this first encounter are reproduced here and have respected the language of presentation." -- P.[4] de la couv.
