Dropping Knowledge: Tips for Emerging Artists - The SORPLUSI Principals

A new video series featuring real advice from real artists for emerging artists! Our first episode features Jamaican dub-poet and monodramatist, d'bi Young Anitafrika on a methodology she created called The Sorplusi Method.
Sorplusi is an acronym for: self-knowledge, orality, rhythm, political content and context, language, urgency, sacredness, and integrity which form a comprehensive eco-system of accountability and responsibility between the artist/storyteller and the art/stories they choose to create/tell. In this video she highlights 3 of the 8 principals that she feels can work for emerging young artists.
All featured artists were guest speakers in the 2015 Ada Slaight Youth Arts Mentorship Program, a multi-arts program that engages emerging Regent and area youth arts. To join the Ada Slaight Youth Arts Mentorship program for 2016, visit goo.gl/ac0tzU. Deadline to register is December 4, 2015.
