3AP Campaign Launch
I’m happy to officially announce that my 3AP A Study in Rhyme & Song is live! I’ve launched this crowdsourcing campaign through 3Arts to take this performance on tour throughout Chicago. With your help, I will be working with builders, a choreographer, and performers to make a mobile sound system for touring the performance, sound and video works around select sites in Chicago. Check out the campaign and video below for more details and donate what you can. https://3arts.org/projects/study-rhyme-song/
- A Study in Rhyme & Song at 6018 North's Water Music on the Beach 2016 curated by Tricia Van Eck. Video documentation by Michael Solomon and Tina Smith.
A Study in Rhyme & Song surveys the performance of identity as a form of social terrorism through the lens of children’s rhymes and songs. The performative sound installation offers a critical perspective on notions of progress, living in a post-racial nation, and identity-based politics.
Pulling from the Minstrel show tunes “Ten Little Nigger Boys” and “Ten Little Injuns”, A Study in Rhyme & Song confronts the history of media representation in education and entertainment. An audio collage sountracks concurrent choreographed movement exploring themes of the school-to-prison pipeline, gun culture in America and social justice hashtags, masculinity and queer culture, and comic relief.
