SCI-FI + HIP HOP + SOCIAL ACTIVISM.
CHANGE THE WAY YOU WORK FOR CHANGE.
This groundbreaking Detroit collective is changing our understanding of the relationship between art and progress in the 21st century. Complex Movements is a group of forward-thinking, technologically savvy, sci-fi hip hop, artist/activist geeks who believe social change occurs by creating spaces for connection.
Small performances for audiences of 35 take place in an interactive “pod” assembled in-house on the OtB stage. Once in the pod, the audience becomes a community of post-apocalyptic survivors working together in an immersive environment rich in visual imagery, performance, and a soundscape based on the modern musical influences of Detroit. Interactive elements allow audience members to unlock and shape their experience.
The goal: to create an artistically exciting space where participants encounter and practice the tools for change and co-create ways to use these tools in their own communities.
While in residency, Complex Movements takes to the streets. A series of workshops will occur throughout the city, building upon collective action inspired by science and science-fiction to help reimagine how local community members work to improve conditions in their city. Community is art and art is community.
