Margaret Dragu

Margaret is celebrating her third decade as a performance artist. She has presented her work in galleries, museums, theatres, nightclubs, libraries, universities and site-specific venues including parks, botanical gardens, and public parade routes across Canada, the west and east coast of the United States, and western Europe. Margaret is also a film and video artist, writer, choreographer, actor, and radio broadcaster.

In addition to her artistic career, Margaret is also a fitness instructor and personal trainer at community centres and hospitals in the city of Richmond, BC. She specializes in clients with heart/stroke history, osteoporosis and arthritis. She also specializes in clients who are visually impaired, as well as clients requiring post-rehab and post-surgery programmes.

One of Margaret's recent performance works is a series entitled CONSCIOUS CORPUS that investigates the body by drawing upon a holistic lexicon from both her fine arts and body arts practices.

Margaret currently lives and works in Richmond, British Columbia.
