It's that time of year! You can watch the Curse of Clara on CBC Gem. I can't share the link because of that silly Canada fb news business!

When small-town girl Vickie is accepted into the prestigious National Ballet School and selected to play the role of Clara in the Company's holiday production of The Nutcracker, things look like they couldn't get any better. As it turns out, they can't - because that's when Vickie finds out about the mysterious Curse of Clara. Thankfully, she's got a good friend, the 1972 Summit Series, and an imaginary mentor (in the form of Phil Esposito) to keep her "on pointe." Writer/producer Vickie Fagan also wrote the autobiographical short story upon which this animated special is based.

Before Miriam Adams accepted the Community Builders award (presented to her and the late Lawrence Adams at the recent DCD Hall of Fame celebration), she sat down with the event's producer Vickie Fagan to talk about her life, her work, DCD, and, of course, Lawrence.
“(DCD) is world wide. It gives us a foundation - all of us - a foundation. And it’s very, very interesting – the people, the personalities. It’s forever, as far as I’m concerned.”

“My goal…It was really about being able to question dance… That is really inherited from where I come from, in Africa. You train the being. You learn how to be. What it is to be. This is what dance teaches you."
