The Magic of Assembly is a choreographic conversation between Street Dance and Punking/Whacking artist Ashley ‘Colours’ Perez and experimental dance artist Andrew Tay. Blending elements of Punking/Whacking and unapologetically queer performance, the work is set to an emotional electronic score from Polaris Prize nominated duo LAL (Nicholas Murray and Rosina Kazi) who perform live alongside the TDT ensemble. The Magic of Assembly makes the invisible threads that connect us as a society visible and is a powerful statement on what’s at play when we gather together in collective movement, in sound, in ritual, and in performance.
