REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘[Jonzi D’s] smart, playful script follows an arc that could, given the context, safely be called rags-to-bitches.’ The Times ()
‘Slickly produced and consistently entertaining. Sunday Telegraph ()
‘Fluid and hypnotic… one has to applaud Jonzi D's ambition and imagination.’ Daily Telegraph
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Hip hop theatre show about the rise of a young emcee to a global rap mogul and his efforts to fight against the commercial establishment and re-establish his artistic integrity. (120 mins including interval, 8 on stage, 13–14 on road, day-before get-in, some very strong language.)
Hip hop theatre show about a young obsessive graffiti writer in search of acceptance. Featuring rap poetry and five of the UK's finest breakers and poppers, exploring physical calligraphy to literally bring graffiti to life. (75 mins, no interval, 6 on stage, 9–10 on road, day-before get-in.)
WRAP-AROUND
A range of workshops in hip hop dance styles, rapping and MCing, lyrically motivated movement, physical calligraphy and other hip hop theatre devices/techniques. Suitable across all ages and abilities. Rap and lyrically motivated movement workshops are ideal to help people become more confident in using and experimenting with English language, rhyming and expressing language and ideas in a physical form. Post-show discussions, masterclasses can be added to any performance and can be tailored for a range of audiences. More information on education programme available on the website.
