Silk Road Jams was a theatre Jam Session comprised of seven brief, brilliant, tragic, and hilarious short plays written by Pulitzer-Prize winning African-American playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. Part of 365 Days/365 Plays, an international year-long festival of Parks' work, Silk Road Jams featured Indian dance, poetry and vibrant paintings accompanied by Silk Road inspired music (spun live). These helped to weave together thrilling new works by one of America's most inventive and provocative playwrights.
This event was curated by Stuart Carden with assistance from Allie Herryman, Lavina Jadhwani and Isaac Sernoffsky. Paintings were by Joel Maxime Jr., choreography by Alka Nayyar, and beats and music by Mikhail "Misha" Fiksel.
