Punking Legacy: Digital Conversations with Viktor Manoel and Ashley Colours Perez is a collaborative project commissioned through the TD Bridgemakers Project initiative at Toronto Dance Theatre. This film will remain online for the remainder of TDT’s 2021/22 Season.
This film is free for the community thanks to the generous support from TD Canada Trust through the TD Ready Commitment program, and the Canada Council for the Arts through the Digital Now Initiative.
Connecting through social media during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, dance artist Ashley Colours Perez (Toronto) and the last living Original Punker Viktor Manoel (West Hollywood) share, reflect and discuss their connection to a dance style called Punking, performance personas and how they keep their artistic integrity in the ever-changing world.
