Dominican Artist Ras Moses theater against violence
Dominican Artist community youth and violence prevention worker Ras Mo Moses takes a lead in the fight against domestic violence in the USA, through the Pink & Blue & Blue Arts for Prevention Project.
In observation of domestic violence awareness month Ras Mo is premiering his multi-media Play “Testify-Real Stories Real People” with live performance and video projection will be premiered in Observation of Domestic Violence Awareness Month on October 23rd & 24th,2009 at 7:30 PM, at Bregamos Theater 315 Peck Street, New Haven CT 06513, USA.
Testify makes the connections between relationship violence, HIV/AIDS, drugs, gang, and gun violence. It asks, how do inner city communities, schools, and social service agencies confront them? Ras Mo the playwright, will play the lead role.
The multi media theater piece includes poetry, spoken word, rap, gospel, and reggae music. Through drama, song, story telling, spoken word, and rhyme the play addresses machismo, sexuality, drugs, guns, gender, HIV, AIDS, power and violence.
In Testify, a wise old poet interacts with aspiring male rappers, a young wannabe pimp/ gangster and a budding female feminist rapper from the hood. It’s the story of a young people struggling to survive and overcome the violence, oppression, and media hype that plague communities.
The songs and poems are the core of the Pink & Blue Arts for Violence Prevention Project, which Ras Mo directs. The Pink & Blue curriculum and training workshops explore and deepen the themes that are dramatized in these performance pieces.
The play produced by the Pink & Blue Arts for Violence Prevention Project is directed by Halima Flynn. It’s sponsored by the City of New Haven’s Department of Cultural Affairs. Its also supported by Bregamos Theater, Fire Dragon Productions, Channel One Skateboard Shop & Gallery.
Ras Mo says that his vision is to take the play to Dominica and other Caribbean countries where he hopes to conduct workshops and trainings related to performing and popular arts for youth & community development and prevention education in areas of violence prevention, health issues including HIV and AIDS.
