SPITTIN’ TRUTH TO POWER WHILE LIGHT LEAPING FOR THE PEOPLE Part II: COMMUNION By Alyce Smith Cooper and Shammy Dee A La Jolla Playhouse Commission | Digital WOW SPITTIN’ TRUTH TO POWER WHILE LIGHT LEAPING FOR THE PEOPLE is an intergenerational piece using images, music and storytelling styles reminiscent of the griot. Between fire and brimstone preaching, the intimate vulnerability of prayer, and the invitation to fellowship, renowned San Diego poet and PLC member Alyce Smith Cooper and acclaimed DJ and musician Shammy Dee are reaching to penetrate the hearts of the people. This three-part spoken verse will encompass the juxtaposition of past/present, yin/yang, male/female with the dream of transformations hoped for and imagined. It is both a personal moment and a collective piece – a springing forward into a leap of light.
