Episode 60: Hiphop in contemporary arts – part 2

The 2nd of November, Dansens Hus and Oslo World hosted a panel discussion about why and how artists and makers borrow, appropriate and celebrate Hiphop - in terms of methods, expressions, aesthetics, formats and ideas?Methodology and stylistic characteristics coming from Hiphop bleed into contemporary arts, contemporary dance and popular culture. Does this create a dilution of what Hiphop is, or is it enriching? Is Hiphop dancers' knowledge used as an effect in performances and choreography? Or does it help to emphasise what co-creative dance artists are and can be?This is a recording of the panel discussion. In the panel was psychologist, stage  arts critic and dancer Grace Tabea Tenga, dance artist Rashaad Hasani musician Moonchild Sanelli and dancer and choreographer Oulouy. The Moderator was Artist, writer and community organizer Jessica Lauren Elizabeth Taylor.The panel discussion happened after the performance Afrikan Party by Supa Rich Kids by Oulouy.
