The medium, which encompasses elements of spoken word, music and dance, is so new that even those who practice it have a hard time defining it. This spring, University of Wisconsin-Madison students will join with some of the top performers in the evolving art form to do just that.
“It’s so fresh and dynamic that the architects are just kind of figuring out what it is,” says Willie Ney, director of the UW Multicultural Arts Initiative.
