FREEMIND FREESTYLE at
The Joyce Theater in NYC and the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts
The last few months have been incredible performing original work as a poet and MC in the FREEMIND FREESTYLE hip hop theatre show with LA's own Versa-Style Dance Company. After sharing excerpts at San Francisco's Palace of Fine Arts as part of the SF Hip Hop Dance Fest 2022 and at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City, we had a week-long run of the full show at the legendary Joyce Theater in Manhattan this February. Stay tuned for more opportunities to see the piece across the country in 2023.
