Nationally-renowned Performance Artist Makes Orange County Appearance June 16th:
Marc Bamuthi Joseph in The Spoken World |
|
|
|
The inaugural season of Arts Happenings at the Orange County Great Park's new Palm Court Arts Complex, presented in collaboration with Arts Orange County, concludes with an audacious and astounding "poetry in motion" program featuring award winner Marc Bamuthi Joseph. The performance takes place on Saturday, June 16 at 6 pm, and admission and parking are free. Details here.
Using his signature art form of "choreopoetry," a highly theatrical and mesmerizing blend of spoken word and dance movement, Marc Bamuthi Joseph articulates the story of achieving manhood in the United States through the lens of hip hop, global travel, and urban environmental health.
An inaugural recipient of the United States Artists Rockefeller Fellowship, which annually recognizes 50 of the country's "greatest living artists", he is also the 2011 Alpert Award winner in Theater. In April 2012, he was one of 21 artists to be named to the inaugural class of Doris Duke Artists. He currently serves as Director of Performing Arts at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. |
