Telling Your Story: Defining Your Praxis
Praxis is informed action. It is not simply creating a poem, song, or play for its own sake, but action shaped by reflection, theory, and purpose. In this workshop, participants will:
- Learn about Hip Hop culture, craft, and community
- Collaborate to devise a performance piece using spoken word and rap
- Explore the concept of artistic praxis
