Pride is a time to celebrate and be the queerest version of yourself – and while we’re at it, let’s honour our community’s performers in this Summerplay’s Queering Performing Arts. For years they have told their stories and shared their varied talents to raise awareness, and to have their art serve as a catalyst for change and progress – which in this day and age is still very much needed.
Get to know (if you don’t know them already) four Toronto-based performing artists, Cole Alvis, Charmie, Ensh and Alexandher Brandy give us a glimpse into their work and personal journeys in our first feature. Out on stage and proud, they’re challenging the norms around gender, identity and sexuality in the arts.
In our second feature, Aaron Rothermund educates us on notable queers in dance and choreography such as Maud Allan, Robert Joffrey, Jack Cole, Alvin Ailey and Keith Hennesssy, who’ve dedicated their lives to enhancing 2SLGBTQIA+ visibility. And PinkPlayMags remembers the iconic Tina Turner in our third feature – she was simply the best.
