Seattle Black Improv: Tuko
Seattle Black Improv presents Tuko Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute, October 23
Our voices have always been here. The stories, the rhythm, the music, the movement. They just haven't always been heard.
So this time we're saying it loud. We are here!
We are Seattle's first all-Black permanent improv ensemble. Tuko is our 2nd show, and we're just getting started. We perform improv, comedy, music, dance, rap, poetry, and whatever else shows up in the moment.
And we're doing it at Langston. They've been a home for Black art in this city for a long time, and they want the same thing we do: more of us on stage, telling stories our way. Some rooms you perform in; this one you belong in.
Tuko isn't where our voices begin. It's where they finally get heard.
