Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe (WBTT) is pleased to announce the first artist to be featured during the fourteenth year of its Young Artist Program. On Saturday, August 22 at 7:30 p.m., Charlotte Corporan will present her original showcase, “BUT I CAN!” As a child, Charlotte Corporan dreamed without limits. She imagined herself dancing on stages, performing in music videos, playing in jazz clubs and creating a life where music and dance existed side by side. To her, the two art forms were never separate but rather different ways of telling the same story. But as her passion and commitment grew, others – including teachers and mentors whose opinion she respected – expressed their doubts, believing Corporan should choose between the artistic disciplines in order to succeed.
