This is a project I call A Shakespearean Exploration of the Bach Cello Suites. It's a video series of me performing both the Bach Cello suites and Shakespeare's Monologues, pairing them to explore a world of music and acting. In playing these, I ask the question: what does it mean to be a young black queer man from a lower class traversing two works deemed to be high brown and inaccessible to those like me? It is an attempt to remove preconceived notions about black queerness and to illuminate the complexities of artistic relationships and creation.
