Sadler's Wells Associate Artist Jonzi D presents a triple bill, including a return of his acclaimed solo work The Letter, after its explosive debut last year in the Lilian Baylis Studio. In addition, the evening also features a top guest hip hop artist, and Jonzi presents a new work, continuing his three decades as a pioneering creative voice in hip hop dance theatre.
- "The name Jonzi D shouts respect in circles of hip hop dance theatre"
- THE INDEPENDENT
Co-directed with Dawn Walton, The Letter explores the responses to Jonzi being offered an MBE. Using choreopoetry he paints a picture of stunning, rhythmical clarity (The Stage), looking at this sensitive subject matter through the eyes of an animated cast of characters. The Letter is accompanied by a commissioned score by member of the Speakers Corner Quartet Kwake Bass.
The evening also features a newly commissioned piece, exploring the broken lineage between the old skool and new skool hip hop generations, bringing Jonzi's unique perspective to evolving social issues. An exciting collaboration with Ivan Blackstock, of BirdGang Dance Company, it promises to captivate audiences with Jonzi's trademark wit, humour and style.
