Tessa Virtue will make her stage debut with a new solo contemporary dance performance at the Fall for Dance North Festival in Toronto. The performance will be Virtue’s first major performance on a stage rather than on an ice rink. Virtue said she is excited and honored to take part in the performance.
Virtue said dance and figure skating require different relationships with the body. She invited her longtime partner Scott Moir to join her on stage for the dance performance. The solo performance also marks the first time in years that Virtue will perform alone.
The solo performance is built around Céline Dion’s It’s All Coming Back to Me Now. Fall for Dance North Festival artistic director Robert Binet described the collaboration as the type of artistic risk the festival wants to encourage.
Virtue’s solo performance at the Fall for Dance North Festival will begin on October 15. The festival will run from October 15 through October 25 in Toronto.
