Maybe
you never considered Shakespeare to be
in the same league as Kanye West. But
in Hip-Shake, you can hear how
the linguistic and cultural odd couple
of a hip-hop artist and an actor from
Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre find
the commonalities in their language.
This
one-act play is full of humor, surprises,
and impassioned language. Get in touch
with your inner Sarah Bernhardt or 50
Cent, or maybe both.

Long-time
Syracuse theater educator Len Fonte
wrote the play, with the
collaboration of Rochester poet
and performer Reenah Golden, to
help both adults and young people
get past the stereotypes associated
with these contrasting forms of
dramatic expression and appreciate
the artfulness in both.
This
performance is part of a celebration
of Central New York arts-in-education
partnerships and the Arts
in Mind initiative, which has
just successfully completed its
pilot year of partnerships. You
can read more about the partnerships here.
