Tory Bullock

which is where he first came in contact with the love of his life,
Theater. Tory decided that “ART” would be the path that he travels for
the rest of his life. One of the many steps that Tory took to begin his
journey was coming up with a concept for a theatrical play told through
poetry. With the help of Company One, his simple blueprint became a
skyscraper of art and passion. Tory hopes that, with this show, youth
from all over will feel empowered to follow their passions as well.
This past summer he, along with fellow ARTiculation member Danny

dealt with the many issues plaguing young communities today. This is
the second season for Tory and ARTiculation, and he hopes it will
not be the last.
