Inside Out Upside Down: Performances

Inside Out Upside Down Paul Alexander by Valentin Xtravaganza

Inside Out Upside Down is about paying homage to our roots and the importance of coming together in this political battleground. What is the role of the club in activating a community and creating a cross-cultural blend? Tendayi Kuumba, Larissa Velez-Jackson, and Mr. Richard Kennedy blend movement and sound in a series of performances that move into a workshop led by famed Jackie 60 MC Paul Alexander, Chi Chi Valenti, DJ Johnny Dynell and special guests. Jackie 60, a nightclub hybrid that blurs the lines between performance and party, will be representing their unique brand of dynamic space in the lounge as DJ Adam Rhodes from Papi Juice transforms the back room into a reckless abandonment dance party, with Jackie 60 MCs and DJ Johnny Dynell taking it over (the top) to the end of the night. C’mon Everybody, turn yourself Inside Out Upside Down.
