MANIA is a play on Ira Glass' pep-talk video for emerging artists.
The first iteration of MANIA was created for The Garage Collective, set on 14 dancers from the Toronto community.
​
A second, 6-minute excerpted version was performed at the Ray D-Ance Gala in Toronto, curated by Samantha Raymond.
​
The final version of MANIA, a 12-minute trio, was presented at the Women in Dance Leadership Conference at the Manship Theatre (Shaw Center for the Arts) in Louisiana, October 2015.
