Just Us Dance Theatre – Joseph Toonga: Born to Manifest

Both directing and performing Toonga draws from real life accounts to a create a poignant, responsive piece that simultaneously champions cultural identity and challenges racial stigmas.

Set to an original score from Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante, this dynamic new dance work explores the power and privilege that still oppress and dictate. Performing with Theo Oloyade, Toonga delivers stark home truths through the complexity and beauty of an individual’s journey.
