Solo Work

Verse: Length of work 18 mins 30 secs (Commissioned by Mersey Dance Initiative)

The composition engages Robert Hylton in a physical contract of music and movement, through body popping and contemporary dance.

Short Copy:
Setting the pace for "Verse" is DJ/Producer Billy Biznizz performing live with his two turntables. He creates a soundscape with Hip Hop beats, hard rock guitar riffs and vocal harmonies.

Surfacing the edge of abstraction both performers seek to reinvent their separate forms whilst pushing boundaries and redefining the possibilities of Hip Hop based theatre in this bold and visionary work. This is the first verse.
