Session One of The Watah Theatre Professional Development Residencies explores the questions Who Am I? How Am I? What is my purpose? The session culminates in The Mikey Smith Raw Works Festival, named in honour of Jamaicas brilliant, dynamic, prophetic and political dub poet Michael Smith. Smith, born September 14, 1954 was stoned to death on August 17, 1983 for his humanitarian views and voice.
