Description
YBCA has long been committed to supporting the work of electrifying storyteller Marc Bamuthi Joseph. For our season finale, we’re proud to present the break/s, Joseph’s multimedia journey through verse, contemporary dance and video that interweaves his personal story with the history of hip-hop. Inspired by Can’t Stop Won’t Stop by Jeff Chang, the critically acclaimed book about hip-hop music history, Joseph explores trans-nationalism and globalization in relation to hip-hop culture, and digs into the politics surrounding the creation myth of this provocative music form. With a spoken word virtuoso, live music by DJ Excess and Tommy Shepherd aka Soulati, and choreography by Stacy Printz, the break/s is one gigantic live mix.
