The definition might seem straightforward to some, a duet is two people doing something - a dance, a song, playing instruments, but what IS a duet in the sense of how can the convention be explored?
Last week 2MF brought you the opportunity to win 2 tickets to Two's A Company, a night of duets that will be exploring the notion of "two."
This week I've followed it up with some more info on the line up for the night, with some inspiring words from the brainchild of the event, Hakeem Onibudo. Check it out!
Also, last Friday was the Vauxhall UK Beatbox Championships London heats. Speaking of heat, the venue was so hot and sweaty my notes got smeared with the humidity! But nothing gets in the way of this reporter!
This year's qualifier was a lad that goes by the name of Layth, who wowed the crowd with his incredible beatboxing skills. You can see a video summary of the competitors at the site!
Enjoy your read!
The listings for next month's events are nearly done, so keep your eyes peeled so you can plan to go to the hottest events in March!

One day left to win "Two's A Company" tickets!
Here's the lowdown:
"“Hip hop theatre” has become stereotyped as crews of
ten plus dancers on stage at one time doing the same routine.
This is false! Enjoy hip hop theatre with meaning, narrative,
and a line up of duets from London's top dance companies
including Impact, Flawless and Kenrick "H2O" Sandy (Boy Blue).
"Two's A Company" is part of the Dance Currents 09 Season."
If you want to win tickets to this fantastic event, go to the attached link and enter now, there's only one day left before the competition closes!
Enter, and who knows, you might just get lucky!
Good luck!

Busy this weekend? Next weekend?
There's no excuse, you should be busy EVERY weekend!
Why?
1) Because Notorious is opening in cinemas this weekend. See the story of Biggie's life in movie form! I'll let you know if it's any good when I get round to seeing it. In the mean time, read the short news feature on it at the site.
2) Because plenty of time and effort has been put into compiling *drumroll* the 2MF monthly listings, which has been uploaded on to the site for all to see. It features four things you should see this month around London, from beatboxing to contemporary dance to circus.
The listings are to be a monthly feature, to inform those that may not know about urban events in London. You can get your event listed in future editions upon a negotiable fee.
I can also arrange to deliver the 2MF listings flyer to your university/college/place of work. It's all about giving others exposure, people!
So have a look and get out and see these great things!
