we started with a little dub

and this movement became a company
reaching out in all kinds of directions
poetry & plays & dance & film and training and
youth & voice and rock/paper/sistahz
and brothers linking arms
b current holding strong…
all these years working… alongside a lot of artist folks
flowing under and above and sparking fires
reverberating
toward longevity: b current stepping
18 years/'go long'…

 

rAiz’n new artists/emerging

developing and discovering

and honing fresh talents

carving out spaces for the sounds/the sounds

/the sounds and

creative emissions of young hearts and minds

thru artful expression

so we can all find our voice

and if we can stand & leap, and fall

& rebound and

guide and support

even more artists & their works
aid & abet more companies & creations
then we will, with your support
b current for another 18…
surging through that cultural ‘main stream'
all o' we: one mass
