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
