As curators of the Edwards Summer Music Series, we were thrilled to witness the response to Miss Coco Murray and her ensemble.  An enormous audience gathered at the Toronto Botanical Garden and was enthralled by their performance.  The quality of the music and dance, audience engagement and energy level of the ensemble was absolutely excellent. We are so pleased to have selected them to close the series for the season.  Miss Coco and her Collective was instrumental in ensuring we finished on a high note!

Responsive & Interactive

All services will be delivered to neighbourhoods and regions where African and Caribbean styles of dance are inaccessible.   Participants benefit from a trained cultural practitioner and inter-generational artists that highlight the history, social significance and contributions of indigenous African, Caribbean diaspora to today. 
​

Access to arts-based learning

We will serve all areas within and outside the Greater Toronto region

Inclusive of inter-generational audiences

Services are customized for children, youth, adults and seniors at different levels.

Whether it is an event, a school presentation, fundraiser or a existing performance group - Miss Coco brings over 15+ years of experience to customize a cultural arts experience.

Miss Coco is also dedicated to creating arts-based experiences across the Greater Toronto region and in multicultural spaces. Toronto Neighbourhood improvement areas and increasing home-ownership of black visible minorities[1] in surrounding municipalities are in search of cultural activities for families. Multicultural audiences seek new ways of arts activities, as well. This creates an opportunity to bring ongoing cultural arts engagement from the African/Caribbean region to new areas and educate audiences on its celebratory origins.

​Bookings are available for:

1. ​Dance classes/workshops: customized for dance studios, schools, community organizations, performance ensembles
2. Consultation services: to institutions using Afro-indigenous knowledge with consideration of the culture/ethnic group(s) that are represented
3. Educational presentations:   Miss Coco can customize a presentation based on learning objectives
4. Performance for events or choreography  for performance groups
