In conjunction with the City of Riverside’s Artwalk, UCIRA is proud to
present Buckworld I on the downtown pedestrian mall. Buckworld is a
theatrical production created by Rickerby Hinds, Assistant Professor of
Theatre at UC Riverside. The production combines krump dancing and
spoken word poetry, and has been featured at the New Los Angeles Theater
Center and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.
The Free Improvisation Ensemble will also present a freestyle theater
project. Since its founding in 2001, the ensemble has brought together
musicians, dancers, visual, media and theater artists working in both
traditional and experimental performance genres. The ensemble has
presented frequent performances on the UCR campus, and has appeared in a
variety of performance venues throughout Southern California, including
the Roy O’ Disney Hall at The California Institute for the Arts, The
Technika Radika Festival at the University of California, San Diego, and
the Open Fist Theatre in Hollywood.
