It comes as little surprise that dance artist Lesley Telford is so drawn to the image of the home. When the Vancouver-born choreographer-performer brings herBrittle Failure here for the Chutzpah Festival, it will feature hundreds of small, white paper houses on-stage. For Telford, who has spent most of the past two decades pursuing her art form in places from Montreal to the Netherlands, the structures reveal a lot about what she yearns for when she’s out in the world.
