What are you when you are always the other A play about identity, being a mixed-race black woman and always feeling like an outsider. Blending music and spoken word, WHITE considers the concept of mixed-race privilege, tries to connect clashing cultures and explores what it means to be mixed in contemporary Britain.
Koko Brown is a multidisciplinary artist who blends theatre, spoken word and live vocal looping in all her work. She takes pride in her roots and creates work about being the other - mainly focusing on race, mental health, sexuality, gender, and identity. She has performed with venues such as the National Theatre, Lyric Hammersmith, and the Traverse Theatre (Edinburgh). Her work has been performed at the Roundhouse, Soho Theatre and at Glastonbury Festival. She has collaborated with Sean Holmes, Simon Stephens and Stef O'Driscoll on various shows and projects.
