What Had Happened Was…
Bakanal de Afrique: What Had Happened Was… An Afro-Urban Musical
November 2018 | Dance Mission Theater, San Francisco, CA, USA
Fall In? Or Leave: 1940-1960, a scene from What Had Happened Was...An Afro Urban Musical. Unfair treatment of students in a boarding school leads to an uprising. The performance was created by Nkeiruka Oruche and directed by Tossie Long
I performed in Oakland and San Francisco as one of the lead casts. I danced, played drums, and did theater as the Hopeful student during the scene when students were boycotting the injustices that were happening at their school.
