Rennie Harris blends hip hop poetry, rap music and movement with traditional African dance in PrinceScareKrows Road to the Emerald City, a special solo performance. Harris is a hip-hop pioneer, bridging the usually disparate worlds of street and theater, self-empowerment and artistic inspiration. Harris uses hip-hop to express universal themes that extend beyond the boundaries of racial, religious and economic elitism while acknowledging its roots in inner city African and Latino American communities.
