From a writer’s mind to the tip of their pen lies expression from deep within. DCDC expressionists deliver poetry in motion to reflect the modernization of Shakespeare’s sonnets to the poetic verses of rap/hip-hop artists and performance poets’ musical and lyrical spoken word monologues. The writer’s pen gives voice to our history and provides an insightful platform to our commentary on life.

Available on select dates October 2024 through May 2025. Please contact Muse Machine for the availability of specific dates.
