Open Art Surgery

For Open Art Surgery at Curve Theatre, Leicester, I worked with community arts practitioner Akshay Sharma to produce an original film entitled, ‘It’s An Art’. Open Art Surgery (formerly The Surgery) offers Hip Hop theatre performers and companies (dancers, musicians, emcees and visual artists) the opportunity to develop and experiment with new ideas, share new work publicly and receive mentorship from Jonzi D and other Hip Hop Theatre aficionados.

‘It’s an Art’ was envisioned on the Monday and premiered at Curve on the Friday. Every minute in between was spent developing the concept, composing the music, filming, editing and teching for the show, with support from John Berkovitch. The film was premiered in front of a live audience hosted by Jonzi D.
