DEVELOPMENT STAGE


Development Stage as the name suggests is footage from our early days, when we were still learning and discovering our art and is a collection of performances featuring the following poetry pieces from Nzinga Knight, set to a backdrop of sound and music played by DJ Silky G

 

Each one of these pieces reflect the pathway that we were on at this stage of our lives, not just in terms of our art and our performance on stage, but also our life experience at this time.  As much as life will continue to test and try us and each day brings a new lesson, this was the start of our journey and our Development Stage.

 

Much of what we learnt through this period, has shaped how we have grown as individuals, but also laid the footprints that our organisation has followed the years since, just as our current journey is forming the road map that Nine Red will follow in years to come.
