Coming to TenduTV: Jonah Bokaer
It’s hard to describe the impact that Jonah Bokaer has had on the dance world over the last nine years. It’s not just the awards, the innovation, or the critical acclaim. As such, its harder to describe our joy at adding him to our growing list of content partners. We’re proud to announce that The Invention of Minus One, False Start, and Underscribble will be coming to TenduTV.
