A Dance Performance featuring Dub City Tribe by artist collective Slanguage.
For the third installment of their three-month Engagement Party residency at MOCA, artist collective Slanguage presents Brutalism: A Dance Performance featuring Dub City Tribe. The performance examines the implications of Brutalism, a mid-20th-century architectural style characterized by massive or monolithic forms, usually of poured concrete and typically unrelieved by exterior decoration, within the context of Southern California's urban landscape. Through choreographed movement, the collective's teen break-dancing group Dub City Tribe will play with the monumentality that is central to the Brutalist aesthetic, evoke the Brutalist architecture of Los Angeles and Wilmington (where Slanguage is based), and explore the consequences of the "concrete jungles" it has yielded. This event is free and open to the public.
