In the performance five dancers represent the five elements of Vogue Femme—hands, catwalk, floor performance, spin dips, and duck-walking. As each dancer takes the floor, a hip-hop M.C., an operatic vocalist, a black gospel choir, and five musicians improvise an interactive soundtrack, building to a carefully structured crescendo of sound and movement. Using custom made motion-tracking technology, created from a combination of creative coding and video game hardware, Newsome maps the movement patterns of dancers during the live performances and transform the collected data into digital neoactionist drawings in real-time on a screen above the performance.

Afro-Punk focuses on the lives of four African Americans dedicated to the punk rock lifestyle, interspersed with interviews from a chorus of over 80 black punks from throughout the United States. The Afro-Punk film also inspired the now international Afro-Punk Festival. Originally co-founded by James Spooner, it has become a highly anticipated (and often controversial) event in New York, Atlanta, Brazil, London, Paris and Johannesburg with audiences over 75,000. <a href="https://afropunkfilm.wordpress.com" target="_blank">https://afropunkfilm.wordpress.com</a> <a href="www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJQRJZU0Zhc" target="_blank">watch the trailer</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/aug/15/we-still-need-to-be-seen-behind-the-rise-of-black-punk-culture" target="_blank">''We still need to be seen': behind the rise of Black punk culture'</a> via The Guardian <H4>ABOUT ALEX SMITH:</H4>Alex Smith lives in the seams in the cloth of existence where he desperately stitches together universes with one hand and with the other, armed with an espresso tamp, makes valiant attempts to keep his lights on.
