Terpsichorean Adventurer: Alison Sutcliffe and the 1930s Performing Arts
Scene in Toronto

Curated by Amy Bowring

Designed by Michael Ripley, Believe It Design Works



An adventurous spirit and fearless constitution spurred Alison Sutcliffe to
take on one exploration after another. She worked in the Toronto arts scene
during a remarkable period in which artists from both the fine and
performing arts collaborated frequently. During her career, Sutcliffe
crossed paths with such esteemed Canadian music, theatre and visual artists
as Ettore Mazzoleni, Sir Ernest MacMillan, Healey Willan, Dorothy Goulding,
Herman Voaden and Arthur Lismer. She studied in England, Germany and the
United States with some of the greatest dance teachers of the twentieth
century including Michel Fokine, Kurt Jooss, Mary Wigman and Martha Graham.
Working simultaneously with Hart House Theatre and the Toronto Conservatory
of Music, her career reveals the intersections that existed between theatre,
music and dance in Toronto in the 1930s. Like her fellow artists, she helped
to provide Depression-era Torontonians with an escape from life through the
arts.
