Daniel Banks is an award winning theatre director, facilitator and educator and he is one of the pioneers of Hip Hop Theatre and former faculty member at Tisch School of the arts at NYU where he headed up the Hip Hop Theatre Programme. He’s a published author several times over, and one of the books we’re talking about today is Say Word Voices from Hip Hop Theatre. Co Director and Co-founder of DNA Works based in Fort Worth Texas You’re in for a treat as we talk ritual theatre through Hip Hop, new models of creating and distributing performing arts work and the difficulties venues are facing. Even in 2015 we could see the fragility of the most recent funding and distribution model for the arts. It always has been, we’ve gone along with the illusion that it worked rather than disrupt it and make it work for the many not the few.

I’m currently on a mission the revive the high street and it’s empty spaces to become a places where we work, play, connect and create. I’ll be sharing ideas and concepts I’m excited about and I’ll be interviewing some badass creators and entrepreneurs who are disrupting old models and offering new ways of creating value that make more sense today.

The aim is to provide a space that helps arts practitioners and producers grow, be more independent and entrepreneurial and businesses, landlords and councils grow by being more creative, socially conscious and sustainable.
Creativity is the omnipresence here because everything that has not been designed and created by nature has been created by humans from a thought and if you consider humans to be part of nature then everything is designed by nature.
So enjoy and share the content because together we create.
