| Representing the Bay Area, internationally renowned spoken word artist Marc Bamuthi Joseph is one of an emerging class of hip-hop theater artists who combines a variety of art forms in his work. He has been a featured artist on Russell Simmons' “Def Poetry” on HBO, is a National Poetry Slam champion, Broadway veteran and an inaugural recipient of the United States Artists Rockefeller Fellowship. He uses theater; West African, tap and modern dance; spoken word poetry and live music to stretch the bounds of traditional hip-hop and create a new forum for expressive performance art. His performances at SFIAF will feature excerpts from his evening length works, “Word Becomes Flesh” and “Scourge”, as well as new material from the 2008 premiere “The Breaks.”
AfroSolo Theatre Company's mission is to nurture, promote, and present African American and African Diaspora art and culture through solo performances and the visual arts. Since 1993, we have provided a forum to give an authentic voice to the diverse experiences of Black people in the Americas. Through art, we bring people of different ethnicities together to explore and share the human spirit that binds us all.
