Happened August 14th, 2011

A show based on the concept of gentrification in Harlem that incorporates theater and spoken word.

Preview video here.

Following four SOLD OUT performances at the Times Square Arts Center,

Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale
also known as the Harlem KW Project, has extended their run at the Times Square Arts Center for a five-week limited run!  


ABOUT: Producer, Jaylene Clark, randomly posted a poetic Facebook status about wanting to jump back into the spoken word world. Alfred Preisser, who taught Clark when she attended the Harlem School of the Arts College Prep Theatre Program, saw the status and asked her if she could create an entire show based on the concept of gentrification that would incorporate theatre and spoken word for his play reading series at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Clark, who always wanted to create a show that blended her two loves of theatre and poetry, jumped on the opportunity.
