The rapper and beatboxer, Testament, has combined the poetry
of Blake with his love of UK hip-hop in the show "Blake
Remixed".
Whilst the hip-hop artist is now performing Blake's work he
recalls that he wasn't a fan of the writer's poetry at school.
Testament has also noticed the show has drawn in audiences from
a wide age range, with people young and old sending him letters
praising the project.
Testament worked on the show with a renowned "scratcher", DJ
Woody, who uses groundbreaking mixing techniques.
"Blake Remixed" has been performed at well-known venues
including the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds and continues to
be shown at theaters across the UK.
