SUMMARY:Democracy & Fayettenam
DESCRIPTION:Emerson Theater Colaborative presents\, Democracy & Fayettenam\, a reflective solo performance from acclaimed performance artist Jay Ruby. The one-of-a-kind performance features spoken word and physical theater\, addressing Early Settlement\, American Transience/American Conscience\, Water\, Ghosts in the Mountain and Johnny Appleseed. Through the show\, Ruby examines the roots and consequences of deep cultural conflict when approaching our relationship to the land\, the future and each other. Produced by Camilla Ross \nJay Ruby is the founder and director of The Carpetbag Brigade\, an international touring company specializing in acrobatic stilt walking. He also founded the Tsunami on the Square performing arts festival and Global Stilt Congress. He is currently based in Prescott\, Arizona. \n \nWe are pleased to announce that Dahveed Nelsen will be in attendance of all three productions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn May 19th\, 1968\, a little over a month after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr left this physical realm\, Dahveed approached his understudy at the anti-poverty program (Abiodun Oyewole) along with Gylan Kain (currently living in Amsterdam) to head to Marcus Garvey Park on Malcolm X’s birthday.  Due to the courage and consciousness associated with this brave act to stand up and speak up\, The Last Poets were formed.  Considered the fathers of rap along with their west coast colleagues (The Watts Prophets)\, The Last Poets have carved out their niche in this existence and continue their mission just as passionately as they did 55 years ago. Dahveed is the visionary\, leader and elder of the association and has been called the 1st prophet of Hip Hop by the Cleveland Free Times.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen asked about himself and his work Dahveed replied\, “I am searching for ways to give my writing the power and expressiveness of Black music and also for ways to express the divinity of the life force both in my writing and in myself”.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDahveed spends most of his time between Detroit\, Ghana and the Southwest (Sedona AZ and Salida CO).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nDates/Times: \n\nThursday\, February 1st\, 7pm\nFriday\, February 2nd\, 7pm\nSaturday\, February 3rd\, 2pm\n\nTicketing In-Person: \n\nAdvance Purchase / General Seating – $35\nAdvance Purchase / Reserved Seating – $45 (pick your seats with our reserved “seating” map)\nAt-the-Door – $45\n\nNo Refunds! \nLocation:\nVerde Valley School | Brady Hall\n3511 Verde Valley School Rd\nSedona\, AZ 86351
