A Senior Thesis in Directing For Maxwell Brown

by Tearrance Arvelle Chisholm

A TV with PYG on it

From the TDPS Black Box, a new reality TV show featuring the Canadian pop star you know and love: Dorian Belle! In this series, Dorian takes on hip-hop, a new style of music he secretly loves. To teach him the ways of the streets, his favorite rap duo joins him straight from Chicago: PYG, featuring rappers Black and Alexand. A wicked cultural exchange, fo shizzy! Live at 8/7  Central.  

                                                                                                                                                         

Inspired by Pygmalion, PYG, or the Mis-edumacation of Dorian Belle investigates authenticity and censorship of hip-hop in a surveilled space, interrogating where the line is between appreciation and appropriation.
