Jasmine’s Jerwood Bursary will enable her to receive one-to-one beatbox coaching as well as funded time to rehearse, write and experiment with combining poetry and beatboxing. Through this development, she will create new pieces of work that fuse the elements of both practices, and use this new skillset to explore further crossovers between music and spoken word.
