Award-winning actor, rapper, playwright, and educator Will Power will lecture and demonstrate elements of hip-hop performance and engage the audience in a dynamic question-and-answer session. Power has created his own style of theatrical communication, fusing original music, rhymed language and dynamic choreography. Produced by New York Theatre Workshop and the NYC Hip Hop Theater Festival, Will Power’s solo show FLOW has been described as “astounding” (CurtainUp) and “theater with the refreshing aroma of originality” (New York Times). Will Power received the prestigious 2005 Joyce Award, a 2004 Jury Award for Best Theatre Performance at the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, and a 2004 Drama Desk nomination for Best Solo Performance.
