About the Performance:
Through a unique blend of Hip Hop, Theater, Poetry, and Dance, partners in art and love Jendog Lonewolf and YaliniDream demonstrate a politic of pluralism and solidarity through creative practice in their soul-touching collaboration Above Street Level. Bringing forth stories of their respective communities-- South Asian (Sri Lankan Tamil), Indigenous (Blackfoot and Cherokee) and West Indian (Grand Caymanian)-- they lovingly and unapologetically, intersect class, race, gender, and sexuality. They navigate survival, spirit and desire amid inter-generational traumas, community homophobia, the legacy of war, and violence within communities-- bringing underground aesthetics and stories that are often marginalized or closeted to Above Street Level.
This interactive workshop is for students interested in art and activism and bringing these two passions together. Jendog and Yalini will show students how they bring together artistic methods and practices as a tools for community empowerment, activism, and social justice. YaliniDream will share artistic tools she has used when working with various communities fighting for justice, including-- Bangladeshi and Indian domestic workers in Queens, War affected communities in Sri Lanka and Refugee Camps in India, as well as LGBT People of Color in Central Brooklyn. Jendog Lonewolf will share her science of lyricism, the basics of composing a song, writing bars, and the Art of the Hip Hop Cypher. Participants will have the opportunity to examine injustice while dreaming different realities. Come ready to write, move, reflect, work together, and share. Lunch will be served.
