East London West Sydney

Presented by Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE) and The British Council in association with Sydney Festival and CarriageWorks

‘The name Jonzi D commands respect in circles of hip-hop dance theatre’ The Independent (UK)

East London West Sydney is a cross-border and multi-lingual mash-up of spoken word, drama, music and movement.

It brings together a crew of dexterous hip-hop artists from London and Sydney to exchange ideas and smash inner city stereotypes.

Leading spoken word performer Jonzi D directs artists including BrothaBlack, Sarah Sayeed, MC Trey and Maxwell Golden as they use the tools of the urban poet to ride the parallels and divergences between two cities.
