YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this episode of ASCENDING with APRIL R. SILVER, host, the tribute to #NationalPoetryMonth is still going strong. The featured guests are MILDRED RUIZ-SAPP and STEVEN SAPP from the famed poetic theater ensemble UNIVERSES. The legendary group is a theater company of multi-disciplined writers and performers of color who fuse theater, poetry, dance, jazz, hip hop, politics, down-home blues, and Spanish boleros to create moving, challenging, and entertaining works for the stage. The group breaks the traditional theatrical bounds to create its own brand of theater. Founded in The Bronx, New York in 1995, the members of UNIVERSES came together in the urban poetry and music scene of the late 1990s, quickly moving through the “downtown” performance scene to build a home for themselves in American Theatre. In their 30 years, UNIVERSES has performed at venues throughout the United States and toured extensively worldwide.
