Liberated Muse: Transforming Places Into Art Spaces: Princess of Controversy Debuts New Play This Week

Princess of Controversy Debuts New Play This Week

BreakThrough, the soul-hop musical by DC native artivist, Princess of Controversy (PoC), strikes a chord amongst the easily offended, heavily devout, & non-confrontational. BreakThrough takes a deeper look into the socio-economic issues within the performance arts/entertainment industry & the communities they serve. Issues such as racism, classism, separatism, sexism, religion & spiritual divide rear their head in this production written and produced by PoC and her art company ArtSperts.

PoC is a member of the Liberated Muse community with her husband DJ Monty who recently donated some of his new single releases to Liberated Muse's most recent event To Haiti, With Love. Check out his work HERE on his BandCamp page. This duo are hard-working examples of the rich artist presence in the Washington DC area.

PoC's play debuts this Friday. Here are the details:

Dates:March 12th at 7PM & March 13th at 2PM & 7PM
Where: Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, 545 7th St. SE WDC (1 block from Eastern Market Metro)
Price: Tickets prices range from $8-15.

About Liberated Muse Arts Group

Liberated Muse Arts Group is a collective of performers, writers, singers, actors and visual artists who gather to transform spaces into art places.

In 2008, the digital community LiberatedMuse.com was born, connecting creatives from around the globe to discuss, collaborate and fellowship. Hundreds have connected through the online portal, beginning meaningful relationships leading to further creative collaborations and ongoing partnerships. You can join the community for free if you are a creative literary, performing, or visual artist.

Liberated Muse Productions (2008-2010) produced the annual Capital Hip Hop Soul Fest held in Washington DC’s Marvin Gaye Park for three years and after the dissolution of Liberated Muse Productions, Liberated Muse Arts Group became the new name of the umbrella of services in 2011, producing events and theatrical productions throughout the Washington DC metro area.

The Liberated Muse brand has produced and co-sponsored dozens of events since 2008, including:

I’m Every Woman: A SWAN Day Event (2012)

In Her Words (2012)

The aim of Liberated Muse Arts Group is to continuously challenge the notion of an “arts space” by programming in spaces that are not traditionally considered popular art spaces while continuing to use traditional spaces as a balance. We wholeheartedly support artist-owned and community-based venues that connects arts programming to populations that typically don’t have access to professional, high-quality artistry. Past locations for programming have included:

Marvin Gaye Park (Washington DC)

The Potter’s House (Washington DC)

The Bonifant Theater (Silver Spring, MD)

Martin Luther King Public Library (Washington DC)

Oxon Hill Public Library (Oxon Hill, MD)

Little Black Pearl (Chicago, IL)

The Artomatic (Washington, DC)

ArtSpring (Silver Spring, MD)

Capitol North Neighborhood Library (Washington, DC)

The United States Peace Corps headquarters (Washington, DC)

The Corner Store (Washington, DC)

Annie’s Art Gallery (Camp Springs, MD)

Germano’s (Baltimore, MD)
