Description |
In this sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always truth-seeking performance, Sloan attempts to break down assumptions that divide teacher and student, student and student, and residents of a polyglot city who live in close proximity but come from conflicting worlds.Fusing the art of theatre and radio, Yo Miss is an eye- and ear-witness account of a teacher using all her heart to bridge cultural and generational divides.The Show opens with a performance by Mahina Movement, a phenomenal 3 women trio who combine, poetry and song to create passionate music tied to flesh and bone, straight from the heart.Written and Performed by Judith Sloan Directed by Michael Dinwiddie Music by Taylor Rivelli Co-Produced by Michael Premo Additional music and sound by Frank London, David Krakauer, Samir Zariff, Lars Deitrich, Judith Sloan Dramaturg Yoni Oppenheim Additional Voices Carl Hancock Rux and Michael Premo Editor at Large Warren Lehrer Developed in association with LaGuardia Performing Arts Center Lab Program In addition to her work as an educator, Judith Sloan is an award-winning actress, oral historian, and radio producer. Yo Miss: Teaching Inside the Cultural Divide is a project of EarSay, a non-profit arts organization dedicated to portraying stories of the uncelebrated. |
