About This Event
Original Conscience: Writing, Performance & Discussion takes place at Union Theatre, 229 Union Street, London SE1 0LR, on Thursday 19 November at 4:00pm. South London rapper Consensus leads an in-person rap writing workshop and discussion.
The session covers ways to write and perform technical subjects through poetry and rap. Participants can work with ideas including astronomy, particle physics and the origins of the universe. No science degree is required; attendees are asked to bring a pen and their ideas. The workshop includes writing, sharing ideas and conversation.
Consensus blends hip-hop, grime and jungle on Original ConScience, an album exploring the origins of the universe through lyricism. He has led discussions and performed at Johns Hopkins and Cambridge University. His CERN-backed project, ConCERNed, has toured Europe, North America and Africa, and he has collaborated with CERN, Fermilab and the Ontario Science Centre.
This session is part of ART in EVOLUTION, a live arts festival featuring new performance pieces in development, including live music, dance and theatre. Workshop participants can receive a discount code for the main show.
