Welcome to act/re/act podcast, where we explore improvisation through conversations with remarkable artists.
I'm thrilled to introduce you to Stringz, as he is another artist I didn’t know before we sat down and had this conversation. It is always a pleasure to add another Detroit-based artist to the mix - since I grew up kind of half way between Detroit and Ann Arbor. So, nice to have another Michiginian in the mix. Earlier episodes of act/re/act featured three other artists with connections to Detroit and Ann Arbor - Alvin Hill, a DJ, composer and multi-media artist, Melanie George, a Jazz dance artist and dance dramaturge, and Ed Sarath, a jazz musician and professor at U of Michigan - so, you can make your Michigan artist experience complete by checking out those episodes as well.
Here’s a bit about Stringz:
Stringz began his dance career path in the early ‘90s focusing on Breaking, and his hometown dance form known as the Jit. He founded his company Hardcore Detroit in 2001. “Hardcore” is the success after the struggle and overcoming obstacles to achieve victory. He is a multiple artist-grant recipient, and travels worldwide as an official cultural ambassador through the U.S. State Department. His award-winning film documentary, The Jitterbugs: Pioneers of the Jit is on Amazon Prime and Tubi TV.
