The Strivers Row poets in the UK! These award winning poets have wowed audiences across the US and now make their UK debut with a spectacular 3- day event.
The Strivers Row artists are a performance collective born from the collision of passion and page. Assembled in the Fall of 2010, the troupe, comprised of Joshua Bennett, Jasmine Mans, Miles Hodges, Carvens Lissaint, Alysia Harris and Zora Howard. has already, on an individual level, performed on stages ranging from The BET and NAACP Image Awards to Broadway's Amsterdam theater to Poetry Africa to The Sundance Film Festival to President Obama's Evening of Music and Poetry at the White House. Beyond the stage, each of The Strivers is not only a rigorous student (two are PhD candidates, and four as undergrads at some of the nations top colleges and universities) but also a teaching artist firmly committed to social justice and the equality of education for all. For them, performance is infinitely more than just a form of entertainment, it is a vehicle for transformation.
They will be supported by UK artists, Marie Dahlstrom, Warsan Shire and JP Cooper.
Price: £12.00. (£12 (Students), £15 (Standard), £20 (VIP))
