No home, plenty of history

Born to Métis parents and adopted into an Irish-Catholic household, McGuire spent his childhood on the move.

Backstage to the Future

All fourth-year RTA students must complete a 300-hour practicum project, but the TARA awards are designed as an additional reward for their efforts.

In Brief: The show goes on

The music blasts from the stereo in the corner. The five dancers begin to move, slowly at first. As the tempo gets faster, so do they. Suddenly, four of them surround the dancer with the briefcase, and the tug-of-war begins. The crescendo builds and builds—until one of them almost stops grimacing in pain. You almost expect to hear someone yell, “Feel the burn!”
