Mutle's Propbox: Rehashed and Rehearsed this Sunday

Mutle Mothibe, of Inaudible is venturing out on a solo project tittled: Mutle's Propbox: Rehashed and Rehearsed. A word master of note, Mutle was one of the finalists at the 2011 Word & Sound Poetry and Live Music Festival.  He gave an electrifying performance at the festival, a performance which he says was a sneak preview to what we can expect at Bassline this Sunday. We had a brief chat with him about what we can expect from the show.

What can we expect from Mutle's Propbox: Rehashed and Rehearsed?
People can expect more than one medium through which poetry is explored. I want to try tap into more ways than just body language to accentuate my words and exploring the topics I write about. I want to try step away from the conventional..." My NEXT piece is!" structure and create a different way of coming at the work. I want to try treat people to a sensual experience at the show and have them walking out of there having a shift in how spoken word art can be approached. 


What in your opinion is the relation between hip hop and poetry if at all?
I have been attending poetry sessions where there is a Rhythm And Poetry section included and have actually come to feel that I don't want to share such stages anymore. RAP crowds have a different approach to poetry in comparison to poetry which requires that people tune in and listen. The correlation between RAP and Poetry is words but past that I feel poetry sessions should be dedicated to poetry and Poetry to Poetry. Poetry is part of Hip Hop as one of its elements but I've come to feel poetry and hip hop require lots of control from organizers for the crowd to feel the different artists. 

Above is Mutle performing Parkinsons, a piece dedicated to Salvidor Dali, Mahommed Ali and Micheal J Fox and everyone with the condition. 

So go check him out for a sensual experience on a Sunday afternoon.
