Award-winning spoken word artist, beatboxer and Birmingham Poet Laureate Jasmine Gardosi is hitting the road with her debut show, Dancing To Music You Hate.
Combining poetry, beatbox and Celtic dubstep, Dancing To Music You Hate sees Jasmine delving into themes around gender identity.
Through explosive tracks that blend dubstep bass-lines and soaring folk violin, she boldly articulates what it feels like for someone to come to terms with their own queerness. Delving deeper, she also emphasises how everyone - straight, gay, trans or cis - can find joy and fulfilment from questioning the gender binary and its expectations: "What if you're everything you're supposed to be?" she challenges. "What if there are as many genders in this room as there are people?"
Blowing apart the boundaries of both gender and musical genre alike, Jasmine converses, argues and competes with a live band of instrumentalists as she cracks open the binary with boldness, humour and celebration. "Trans or not, questioning or not," she offers, "I wish you gender euphoria."
Joining her on stage are Alternative Dubstep Orchestra’s DJ C@ In The H@, Ire-Ish’s multi-instrumentalist Jobe Baker-Sullivan, and drummer Noemi La Barbera, plus additional guest musicians.
