TWO PERFORMANCES will be taking place this weekend as part of a drive to engage young people in Bridport.

Bridport Arts Centre will play host to two hip-hop based shows this weekend.

First, on Saturday, September 11, four time UK Beatboxing Champion Grace Savage will to deliver her unique brand of melodies and songs through beatboxing.

Having previously performed at the likes of Altitude, Dreamland and Glastonbury, will take to the stage at 7.30pm on Saturday with tickets costing £12.

Grace will also be running workshops throughout the day where those in attendance can learn the basics of beatboxing themselves.

The following day will see a hip-hop dance performance produced by Joseph Toonga, described as 'highlighting black excellence and challenging racial stigma'. Born to Protest’s cast of seven will perform en masse with the group's intense energy with hip-hop beats and voice over.
