Milk Poetry presents: Dancing To Music You Hate

About

Poetry. Beatbox. Celtic dubstep. Prepare for an hour of explosive dubstep bass-lines and soaring folk violin which blow apart the boundaries of gender and musical genre alike

Milk Poetry selects the finest, freshest poets from the UK and beyond to produce the most nourishing and eclectic spoken word bonanza you could ever hope for, curated and hosted by Malaika Kegode (Outlier) – monthly Mondays at The Wardrobe Theatre

Jasmine Gardosi is an award-winning spoken word poet, beatboxer and multiple slam champion of national and international renown. Dancing To Music You Hate is her brand new, debut show about gender identity, coming to terms with queerness, and finding the words. Commissioned by Warwick Arts Centre, it premiered at the WAC in October to standing ovations. Prepare for an hour of explosive dubstep bass-lines and soaring folk violin which blow apart the boundaries of gender and musical genre alike. Watch Jasmine converse, argue and compete with a live band of instrumentalists as she cracks open the binary with boldness, humour and celebration.

Reviews

“The most important piece of art I can remember seeing.”

Casey Bailey, Birmingham Poet Laureate
“Tricky, sticky themes explored with humour, passion and euphoric music. Conversations around themes of sexuality and gender can alienate people who really need to be part of them, but this show was validating and welcoming.”

Malaika Kegode, Milk Poetry
“An electrifying original performance: skilful, vulnerable, fierce, funny, intelligent. Stunning musicianship intertwined with Gardosi’s poetry.”
