1: What Comes After Hamilton?
Manage episode 167281030 series 1320957
The hip-hop theater scene has been around for a while, but it’s been launched into the spotlight by the recent success of the musical Hamilton. In its wake, a workshop called #BARS was created to mix the worlds of hip hop, theater, and verse. There are singers, poets, rappers, actors, and playwrights in here, handpicked by Def Poetry Jam vets, theater directors, and Broadway actors. In short: they have skills. And they are using them to try and change the landscape of contemporary theater.
On this episode of Sound Show, we’re talking about the sounds of verse, and hip hop, and theater, and what it means when they all occupy the same space.
