The American comedian/actor delivers a story about the alternative Hip Hop scene. A small town Ohio mans moves to Brooklyn, New York, to throw an unprecedented block party.

When Albert Stockwell comes home from work one day he finds a note from his wife of 15 years, Nancy, saying she has gone to see friends. After waiting several days, Albert realizes that his wife is missing. Nancy has met her salvation on the Internet in the form of Louis Farley. Nancy and Louis, both wounded souls, take comfort in one another through e-mail, pictures, and promises of perverse sexual encounters.

Behind the scenes look at Dave Chappelle's Block Party.

The cosmic journey of sacred youth, during which pain, pleasure, and sublimation are nonnegotiable.

This ritual space extrapolates meditations on raising free Black children from the aforementioned film. The space draws on inspiration from many cultural traditions and over the course of its five months' tenure, the collective will invite guest performers and practitioners to practise and teach the 'spirit strategies' within the space and will programme a series of activations designed to guide the community in maximising the space's use. Mediums will include but are not limited to ritual performance, sculpture and video installations.
