MORE INFO ON THE PLAY
THE HOOD BABIES TAPES:
VOLUME 1
The play is titled “The Hood Babies’ Tapes”, which encompasses a fictional world that mirrors social issues in the Black community. The performance will take form as the live taping of a kids’ TV show program. The program is set in an urban cityscape diorama and will highlight 7 main characters called the HOOD BABIES -which are 30 inch cable-controlled mechanical puppets. Each puppet will have its own episode that delves into a specific issue in the black community while also presenting potential solutions. I intend to develop a project that embodies the cultural essence of Sesame Street while focusing on relevant contemporary issues for adult audiences. The story represents the evolution of Black consciousness by healing one’s inner child through unlearning generational patterns.
