The Artifact of the Month series introduces our online visitors to treasured and fascinating items at Dance Collection Danse (DCD).

Focussed on Canada’s theatrical dance history, DCD’s collection dates back to the mid-1800s and includes materials such as costumes, props, backdrops, choreographic notes, photographs, moving images, playbills, journals, notation scores, correspondence, business records, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, designs, oral history recordings and books. Here, we present a featured artifact with accompanying related imagery narrated by a podcast. Welcome to Canada’s colourful dance heritage!
