The phenomenon known as Hip Hop encompasses a global, multiethnic, grassroots culture committed to social justice and self-expression through performance. Hip Hop Theater emerged from that culture, mixing spoken-word performance with music and dance and marked by Hip Hop's strong sense of activism and resistance. Hip Hop Theater is engaged with questions of identity culture, heritage, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and difference narrating the experiences of historically marginalized peoples and putting them in dialogue with other oppressed communities.
