The Kindness of Strangers with Pulga
Afros in the DiasporaPlay episode
Show notes
Pulga Muchochoma was born in Mozambique where his dance career and training began with Montes Namuli Dance Company. He studied at The School of Toronto Dance Theatre and in 2009 he joined the company. He's a well established performer, dancer, and choreographer in Toronto and he's also the founder of Pulga Dance since 2015. I had the opportunity to work with Pulga on a project and what an amazing talent and soul he is. In this episode Pulga shares his story of how his life was changed by the kindness of a stranger who saw potential in him. We discuss his journey of learning the English Language from a dictionary, preserving and passing on aspects of his culture to his kids, people's perspectives around accents and English as a first language.
