A History of Verse

In the first video entry to our 10 Year Blog, the Hip-Hop Shakespeare company present a decidedly East End take on A History of Verse.
Coming out of a series of Hip-Hop projects the company has run at City Gateway's Limehouse Youth Centre, the video is an example of a bold new way of getting young people engaged with the history and culture around them. Previous workshops have included one session in which Shakesperean actor Sir Ian McKellen spat lyrics against Ms Dynamite and Akala.
Two young people from the centre, Melissa and Kayne, helped plan, produce and direct the video - Kayne features as one of the rapper.
