Poetry 2012: Grand Slam!

Hi All,

BAM — the Brooklyn Academic of Music — is having a one-night only poetry performance in March that some of you might be interested in. If you are, please let me know in the comments — maybe we can set this up as an optional class trip.

Poetry 2012: Grand Slam!

Part of the 2012 Winter/Spring Season

Fri, Mar 9 at 7:30pm

Directed by Monica Williams

In this special one-night-only performance, BAM welcomes some of the best poets, beatboxers, and hip-hop artists in the industry. Poetry 2012: Grand Slam!—a spin-off of BAM’s consistently sold-out annual schooltime event, Expression in the Right Direction—showcases the world of spoken word in a dynamic crossgenerational, multicultural, and interdisciplinary program. Hosted by two of hip-hop’s best-known artists—international emcee Baba Israel, who has been featured on MTV, BET, and VH1, and DJ Reborn, who has spun live for artists such as The Roots, Common, India Arie, Will Power, and John Legend—the show’s theme this year is Grand Slam!
