Project Summary: "Kingdom Come" Video Performance (scheduled for December 2009) [Excerpt from the Jefferson Center's proposal] "'Kingdom Come' is a commissioned multimedia performance juxtaposing Nikki Giovanni's radical Black Nationalist poetry with video images of early white rock 'n' roll stars and 'reclaimed' performances of their hits as interpreted by the Paschall Brothers, an acclaimed traditional African American jubilee gospel ensemble. Historic film images and real-time video manipulated by Pam Payne will blur the distinctions among the live and recorded performances that meet in a mediated, larger-than-life environment." The project is being commissioned by the Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA, and is funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. Three performances will be held at the Jefferson Center in early December, 2009.
