Finalist Canadian Chalmers Play Award
Named Outstanding Performing Artist of Windsor Ontario, Canada, Leslie McCurdy, has been performing for many years in Southwestern Ontario and the Mid-Western United States, a privilege her dual US/Canadian citizenship affords her. Also a teacher, with an honours B.F.A. in dance from the University of Michigan, Leslie was slated to go to New York to apprentice with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre when she literally tripped, fractured her hip, and fell into acting. While she has many theatre credits, Leslie is best known for the one-woman plays that she wrote and has toured with internationally for 15 years. Called “brilliant” and “something everyone should see”, her solo performances are at once educational and inspirational leaving a lasting impression on all who experience them!
Leslie has recently returned to her dance roots and is a member of Dance Nonce, a modern dance company based in Grosse Point Michigan.
