Showcasing the
Freshest Freestyle Hip Hop Theatre

Hosted by Jonzi D, THE SURGERY is our regular showcase of new Hip Hop Theatre work in March, June and October each year.

THE SURGERY is a platform for emerging and established artists to present new Hip Hop theatre work in a professional theatre space. The unique aspect of the evening is the breaking down of the “fourth wall” where there is an opportunity after each piece to take questions and comments from the audience.

For artists trying out new ideas, testing the boundaries of Hip Hop Theatre genre, this is a really valuable opportunity to help decide how they might develop the piece. For audiences, it’s a brilliant way to engage with artists and be part of the development of Hip Hop Theatre.

The evening always features brand new work created during Jonzi D's Hip Hop Theatre Lab and a selection of other work. At the end, the audience is invited onto the stage to do an impromptu workshop with Jonzi.
