Terrill’s long-standing project,  “Bloodsongs,” is a dance/music collaboration for 10 performers.  Drawing inspiration from Middle Eastern music and dance of both Islamic and Jewish origins, “Bloodsongs” represents themes of love, community, and reconciliation.  It was presented in November 2018, by the Aga Khan Museum, at Rosedale Heights School of the Arts, and Heliconian Hall, where she was the 2018-2019 Artist-in residence; in Toronto.

“Bloodsongs” is now a documentary/performance film created by Christopher Sumpton, through the Canada Council’s “Digital Originals” program.

Recently, Maguire and her collective colleagues Julia Aplin, John Gzowski, and David Langer were recipients of a NAC CanadaPerforms commission, for their site-specific, live-stream, forest-based work, “Grove.” A short film of this work will also be shown!
