Cory Bowles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cory Bowles was born in Montreal and raised in Truro, Nova Scotia. He is a Black Nova Scotian with roots in the trees of Black Loyalists, Maroons and French Colonies.
Known to most as Cory in Trailer Park Boys, he also is the principal choreographer of Halifax based Contemporary Dance Company Verve Mwendo, plays in the rock band AIDE-DE-CAMP and voices the children's series Poko. Before he was able to drink legally he had already gotten a rep as a cocky and quick tongued MC in Hip Club Groove, touring frequently across the country. He later formed a theatre company in 1997 with bandmate Joe Wynne called the Good Companions and then, after folding the company went on to further his studies as a dancer and choreographer in Alberta.
He has traveled around the globe studying the roots of black dance and music, particularly through his own family line and continues to follow the advancements of Black tradition in popular culture.
He has received a Gemini Award for his work on Trailer Park Boys and ECMA nominations for music. He also voices the Canadian Cartoon series Poko.
Cory recently left Trailer Park Boys and continues to work in film, theatre and music.
