"At the intersection of beats and rhyme, a b-boy sings the bluez, but it ain't always sad".

Uprise! Productions and Vortex Repertory Company present award-winning Zell Miller III's B-boy bluez, an episodic love letter to Hip-Hop culture. Directed by Zell Miller III, featuring dancers from Outta Kontrol with choreography from Ananda Mayia Moss, and original music by Dj S.T.A.T.I.K. Part comedic confessional, part hip-hop concert, part spoken word concerto.

This powerhouse performance piece mixes the energy of an old school hip-hop concert, rapid-fire spoken word, comedic antidotes, and some of the best b-boy dancing in this city. This is a remix of the original that blew up The VORTEX stage in 2006. Fresh-to-def hot joints that are mind-blowing son, mind-blowing kid. So unlace your Addias, pull out your kango, and catch them iron worms down to The VORTEX in the blazing Austin heat and peep B-boy bluez written and performed by Zell Miller III. Directed Zell Miller III, and choreographed by Ananda Mayi Moss. Featuring dancers from Outta Kontrol.
