"If Theatre is dramatic performance, then Hip Hop Theatre is about creating dramatic performances using the styles, techniques and values that come from Hip Hop culture"

Jonzi D

Join pioneer Jonzi D at our regular Hip Hop Theatre Workshops to explore how the elements of Hip Hop can combine or be developed to create Hip Hop Theatre. Hip Hop Theatre Workshops are aimed at Hip Hop artists who are interested in working with other artists and discovering how they can broaden their work and taking it to the next level.

They’re not classes where you learn how to dance or MC, or even what theatre is. They provide a space, over seven evening sessions, where Hip Hop artists can come together to improvise, freestyle and share with each other in order to create truly inspired and innovative work. Some of this work is then shown at THE SURGERY - a rare opportunity to showcase new work whether finished or in progress and to get invaluable feedback on from the audience.

If you want to talk to us about the Hip Hop Theatre Workshops, simply get in touch.
