'Urban Verbs' Performance At SLU February 26

CANTON - "Urban Verbs: Hip Hop Conservatory and Theater," a performance that "explores and blurs the lines between music, poetry and the daily grind" will be given at St. Lawrence University on Friday, February 26, at 7:30 p.m. in Eben Holden. The event, funded by the Alcoa Foundation Cultural Affairs Program Fund, is open to the public, free of charge.

Performers Carlos Contreras, Colin Diles Hazelbaker and Hakim Bellamy will present the work-in-progress, which they describe as "the border between poetry and music, spoken word and hip-hop."

According to the artists, "Urban Verbs is that place where booties can shake, heads can nod, hands can clap and minds can enlighten by way of experience and execution, passion and practice."
