offered through a partnership with Dr. Charity Marsh and the
Interactive Media and Performance Labs (IMP Labs) in the Faculty of
Fine Arts. Two mornings a week, students work towards earning an Arts
Education 20 credit at the IMP Labs at the University of Regina. Along
with local Hip Hop DJs, graffiti artists, MCs, and B-Boys and B-Girls,
Marsh facilitates workshops on the all the hip hop elements, history,
politics, and culture. In the IMP Lab studio outfitted with
turntables, students learn the art of scratching and djing. In the
other IMP studio, students learn how to create beats with MPC beat
machines and computer software (Ableton Live). When not in the IMP
Labs, students are doing activities around the six strands of English
Language Arts that relate to Hip Hop. They are reading, writing,
speaking, listening, viewing and representing Hip Hop culture.
