Making Moves in May!

Happy May everyone!
 
May is a super busy month for Harlem KW Project, LLC and we just wanted to share with you all that we are up to!


After 8 self-booked performances for the Harlem KW Tour, we will be performing our final show for the 2011-2012 year this Friday, May 4th at Amherst College in Massachusetts. Our first college tour has been amazing. Thank you to all of the schools and students that have welcomed us with open arms into your academic communities. We hope that we were able to educate you about gentrification as well as encourage you to support your local arts culture. The Amherst show will begin at 7PM and will be held in the Red Room. We are so excited that our understudy Joyelle will make her debut at this show! If you know anyone in the surrounding area of Amherst please spread the word! The college is about an hour from Boston. Be sure to follow us on twitter @HarlemKWProject for tweets while on tour! #HarlemKWTour


On May 16th at 7:30 pm, our very own Jaylene Clark will be competing in the Top Dog competition at the Apollo’s Amateur night. Jaylene will perform her poem "SoHa" from Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale in the Top Dog competition! She needs to place in the top three to advance to the Super Top Dog contest where she competes for $10,000! If Jaylene wins the $10,000 she plans to donate a portion of the money to HKWP, as well as a portion to supporting the arts in Harlem. To support Jaylene you may purchase tickets via Ticketmaster, or avoid the fees by purchasing at the Apollo Theater Box Office. The Box Office is open from 10AM to 6PM on weekdays and 12PM to 5PM on Saturdays. Let's get Jaylene to that Super Top Dog title!! Thanks in advance for your support! To purchase tickets online, click here!
 
On May 20th at 4:30 PM, Killer Whale is making its way to DC for a one-night only performance at the well known BusBoys and Poets restaurant! This "community gathering place" is located at 1025 5th Street NW (5th and K) in the historic Mount Vernon Triangle district of DC. Tickets for this performance are only $20 and are still on sale. Encourage your friends and family from the DMV area to come out and see the show! To purchase tickets, click here!
 
As always, thank you for your continued support of Harlem KW Project, LLC. We hope to see you at our performances! SPREAD THE WORD!

HARLEM KW TOUR!- 3 Stops this week!

2/22/2012

0 Comments

 
Hey supporters! As you may know, Harlem KW Project, LLC has embarked on a college tour! Our first stop on the tour was a performance at Jaylene's alma mater Ithaca College. This year, we have also performed at Phillips Academy, Williams College, and a performance this week at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. We were brought up by Dartmouth's Afro-American Society as a part of their Black History month festivities. We had such a great time full of laughs, fun, and food!

During our 3 day stay at Dartmouth, we facilitated an interactive poetry and theater workshop with the students that focused on deconstructing gentrification. We also participated in an intimate breakfast discussion where we had the opportunity to sit with students and staff to discuss the importance of black theater and our role in its evolution. The performance took place on Day 2 of the stay, and was very well received by the attendants!

Back at the hotel, we closed the night with prayer (and laughs) and reflected on how blessed and grateful we are to have the opportunity to travel to cities around the US sharing our message of preserving local arts culture! 

Check out the photos from the Harlem KW Tour on our Facebook page! This week we'll also be visiting SUNY Oswego and St. Lawrence University! Follow us on twitter @HarlemKWProject for tour updates and to follow the fun!

We are so excited! This Saturday we will begin our College Tour by making our first stop at Ithaca College! Jaylene graduated from Ithaca College in May 2010. While there she founded a poetry organization called Spit That!. It is Spit That! that is sponsoring our trip to Ithaca, so this really means a lot to us, especially Jaylene! 

We are constantly looking for more colleges to visit so if you would like us at your school, please send us a message by visiting our Contact page. We would love to visit! 

This whole weekend is filled with great events because Sunday is the African-American Day Parade in Harlem! We are leaving Ithaca early enough to be able to attend. Maybe we will see you there!

College Tour!!

We are launching a college tour for the 2011-12 school year! We know this will be a great opportunity to share our show with thousands of young adults who can join us in this movement to preserve the culture of not just Harlem, but all communities in which gentrification is taking place. Through our college tour we hope to show students from communities experiencing gentrification that their neighborhoods are not doomed to becoming just another part of their respective cities. We want them to know that through their voices and positive actions, they can make sure that the culture unique to their neighborhoods does not die. 

If you would like us to come to your school please let us know by visiting our Contact page and submitting your information!
