Faced with systemic barriers based on their race, gender and sexuality, Kumari, Jelani and Sze-Yang decide to come together under the name ILL NANA DiverseCity Dance Company to challenge the institution of dance in Toronto. Together, they are constantly working, often without funding, to make the landscape of dance in their city more inclusive and accessible by creating training and performance spaces for queer people of colour and folks with varying body types, economic backgrounds and abilities.
