Drama Desk Award-winning beatbox artist, Broadway performer, songwriter, and poet Chesney Snow brings his work as beatbox/vocal percussionist and pioneer in American beatbox culture to Princeton with a presentation on sound design using Foley performance gear. Snow's visit is part of the spring "Sound Design" course led by Robert Kaplowitz and Jessica Paz.

Participants will explore the creation and origin of the choreopoem through the lens of beatboxing, hip hop theater, physical movement and, of course, style! Using beatboxing, movement, and spoken word, Drama Desk Award-winning beatbox artist, poet and Broadway performer Chesney Snow and dancer/director/choreographer Rebecca Arends guide participants through a journey of vocal sound, verse, and modern dance to explore the systemic oppression and marginalization.

David Herskovits, the Artistic Director of Target Margin Theater Company in New York, shares his approach to theater-making in this workshop open to all.
