Description

HAM-HANDED: video, words, and music for players apart

Steve Potter (Guildhall School of Music and Drama) presents a performance about racial relationships as experienced via musical recordings, from the perspective of a white American musician raised on recordings of funk and trained in Western classical music.

With the help of guests, he critically examines his own position and his musical Afro-centrism, paying tribute to experimental musicians Cecil Taylor & Lester Bowie; the first American of African descent to host her own TV show, pianist Hazel Scott; hip-hop artists Rakim & Eric B, Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar; as well as to Jesse Jackson & Muhammad Ali.

Throughout the performance he toys with his impulse to see the very attempt to address race from his position as doomed to social clumsiness and faux-pas.
