Reflection: SP!T 3

This reflection is extremely late… we were waiting on the official pictures to come out, but they never did. So instead, take a look at some of the pics Mark took backstage!

On June 30, 2011, forWord joined the cast of SP!T 3, this time with all four members of our collective!

It was great to team up with SP!T cast old and new to put on this show, directed by a good friend of ours, Alex Alfaro, who we know from our Uncultivated Rabbits origins.

What made this show unique was the mixing of spoken word, hip hop, and acoustic performances in the lineup. What also made this really awesome was that the event took place at a theater right in the heart of Los Angeles.

SP!T is a wonderful experience for any performing artist, and I would encourage anyone to try out if they have the chance!
