Soul Science Lab
Make a Joyful Noize

10:00 am Thursday, March 23, 2023
70 minutes

Experience the music and lyrics of Soul Science Lab in Make a Joyful Noize. Feel the inspiration that feeds Chen Lo and Asante Amin, artists and educators committed to responding to the world around them through words and music. 

Youth audiences gain an understanding of how to build their identity as creators. Students and their adult educators, upon attending a Soul Science Lab performance and making use of the accompanying free curriculum, will gain a solid foundation in the genre, and in the practice, of hip-hop. 

Lo, a Penn State graduate, and Amin ask educators and students to do these activities together, and to model vulnerability when experimenting with what might be an unfamiliar practice.
