“We bring a rare opportunity to witness an experimental Battle of live music and poetry. This is our love offering to the Bay Area street dance community, to lift up and unite poets and freestyle artists while dipping into the magic of live art and improvisation inherent in Black Social dance traditions and the ancient continuum of African Diasporic Storytelling and art”. -Rama Mahesh Hall, (Embodiment Project company member)
