An evening of theatre, dance, music, hip hop to benefit EarSay's Arts and Activism workshops for teenagers. Hosted by actress, radio producer, writer Judith Sloan.
Performance to support Arts and Activism workshops for immigrant teenagers. Hosted by actress/radio producer/co-creator of Crossing the BLVD Judith Sloan, whose multi-character performances combine humor, pathos and a love of the absurd. Featured performers: Lemon Andersen, Tony-award winning Brooklyn-based renaissance and hip-hop artist, creator of the critically acclaimed one man show County of Kings* in which Lemon recounts his troubled childhood and eventual arrival on Broadway as part of Def Poetry Jam; Mahina Movement, a trio of three voices and one guitar mixing folk, rock and rhymes in English, Spanish, and Tongan simmered with indigenous roots and culture; Elise Knudson, cross-disciplinary dance-maker; AKIR, hip-hop educator/producer performing social commentary to an uplifting score and Hasan Salaam, hip hop artist, humanitarian/speaker whose music paints vivid pictures of the commonalities that bind us. A special appearance by a Michael Legaspi, a student from EarSay's Arts workshops and Justin Hudson, recent Hunter College High School graduate.
Proceeds go to EarSay's Youth Arts & Activism workshops and directly to the performing artists.
This event is supported in part by the Queens Council on the Arts and Viper Records.
