Pre-lockown I was supporting theatre-makers @mahamdallie & @juliemcmcnamara with collecting a few stories for a new show called 'White Pariah- Quiet Rebels' that explores the stories of white-working class women that crossed the colour line to marry immigrant men after WWII. We drove to friend and former business partner of my late father and recorded his story.
.
.
That story as well as others collected, resulted in this theatre show that I have now come on board fully to support.
.
.
Despite Covid we continued to look at ways to push on to develop this show. Like the rest of the world we turned to online platforms to share this work.
.
.
Since lockdown I've been trying to 'hack' the zoom format with an aim to create something visually engaging, to counter the #zoomgloom we all began to feel. I 've been developing weekly immersive online shows called 'Congregate' where I was experimenting with bringing different genres together into an online experience. I was invited to bring that aesthetic to this important story.
.
.
Rehearsals took place over zoom, scenes were then recorded via zoom and eventually live performances were shared over zoom with global audiences.
.
.
This is a story of racist Britain told though through a Sci-Fi dystopian setting.

Reminder Everyone! CONGREGATE is back tonight FRID

Reminder Everyone! CONGREGATE is back tonight FRIDAY JULY 3rd, streaming from the Soul City Arts Facebook page. 9PM UK time/ 4pm EST. SAT July 4, 6 am Melbourne time, 8 am NZ time.

We offer a particularly fine show, as our season builds to its climax, with some rather special guests on the topic:

HIP HOP: THE ROOTS AND FUTURE.

JOIN US and JOIN IN the discussion, share this widely and bring people along (virtually) who stand to gain from this.

ON OUR THEME:
.
.

Along with a wider spectrum of urban art forms, including graffiti, urban visual art, and street dance in its many forms, hip hop was born in and sort to reclaim the socially disadvantaged urban spaces and culturally empower the black communities of the United States. Its techniques and aesthetics hijacked existing musical forms and transformed them into a radical new music, overlaid with the anti-establishment, politicised lyrics of rap.
.
.

Today hip-hop has travelled the globe, has been taken up by disenfranchised, minority communities, and has been reworked to function in different languages. It also is served by hi-end studios and production values, however, and drives a multi-million-dollar industry. This episode draws together the voices of hip-hop artists, academics and our creative team to tackle the following questions:
.
.

* What is the story of hip hop’s roots?
* How has it changed along its journey, and what accounts for its ongoing appeal?
* Has it been appropriated by the musical establishment, or has it managed to reinvent itself to remain an authentic voice of protest and self-expression?
* What does it have to offer the world today in the wake of renewed protests against racism in the US and world-wide?.
