Overview
Inspired by Mary Shelley's original tale of power and persecution, Frankenstein explores the idea of what makes a modern monster, amped by beatbox, song and monstrous soundscape.
BAC Beatbox Academy is Battersea Arts Centre's home-grown young collective. They have performed all over the country from Latitude Festival to The Royal Festival Hall and have appeared on Gareth Malone's The Choir. Current members are ranked within the top 10 beat boxers in the UK.
