Timeline
Margaret Dragu (born 1953) is a Canadian dancer, writer, performance artist and feminist.
Dragu was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, in 1953.
Growing up she was influenced by traditional Romanian folk dancing.
As an adult she spent time in New York, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver.
She began her dance career in Calgary in 1969, studying under Yone Kvietys Young, who was an instructor of movement using elements of Dada.
From Calgary, Dragu moved to New York in 1971, where she began working with Alwin Nikolais, Murray Louis, and the Laura Foreman dance company, as well as members of the Judson Church.
Her work with movement evolved to include elements of "burlesque, tap dancing, flamenco, and theatre."
In 1973 Dragu moved to Montreal where she began a lengthy career as a striptease artist.
In 1975 Dragu moved to Toronto and became affiliated with artist-run collectives including A Space and 15 Dance Lab.
She taught classes in aerobics and strip at the A Space gallery.
In Toronto Dragu attempted to organize around strippers' rights with the help of the Canadian Labour Congress and the Association of Canadian Radio and Television Artists.
The short lived strippers' union was called the Canadian Association for Burlesque Entertainers.
