Many of you have been asking if the Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop DVD is available to the public and the answer is yes! The award-winning Jails, Hospitals, and Hip-Hop is available on DVD, along with
White Boys and Def Poetry Seasons 1 & 2. Click here for more info.

Danny has recently translated Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop
into Spanish and recently toured the show to Argentina, Spain, Mexico,
and Chile. He is currently directing a bilingual Hip-Hop spoken-word
& theater piece entitled Representa written by Bay Area Spoken Word Artist Paul Flores and New York-based Cuban MC Julio Cárdenas. Representa will premiere at the
San Francisco International Arts Festival
in May 2007.

Danny is also working on his new book, which will consist of a collection of unpublished Hip-Hop writings and the play Till The Break Of Dawn
about Hip-Hop Politics, Cuba, and technology. His writing can also be
found in the upcoming 2006 anthology on the art and aesthetics of
Hip-Hop, titled Total Chaos (add link), edited by Jeff Chang.

Danny is the lucky recipient of a 2006 Creative Capital grant for his long-term epic musical theater project,
A Word Is Born.

You can see Danny in the upcoming Curtis Hanson film Lucky You, starring Drew Barrymore and Eric Bana, as well as
We Own The Night, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, Eva Mendes, Mark Wahlberg and Robert Duvall.

The Hip-Hop Theater Festival, which Danny founded in
2000, is now in its 7th year, and just recently finished a year of
