The UniverSoul Circus will be back in St. Louis on July 20-25, raising their big top in the Jamestown Mall parking lot in Florissant. Though this Atlanta-based Black circus is grounded in traditional circus arts -- the high wire, clowns, animal acts, tumbling -- they've made the three-ring their own by adding acts like choreographed dancers and drummers from Trinidad & Tobago, and "Double Dribble/Above The Rim," which is "a combination of basketball acrodunking and various tricks being performed with a basketball," Globetrotter-style.
They have 219 appearances booked for their 2010 tour, but on the last day of their St. Louis stop, there will be something only local audiences will get to see: a 90-minute concert by a group of St. Louis Gospel rap artists, including Scooda, Pecola J, Forever, Da General, Divine-Truth, Point 5, Pub G, Rik Rok and Gigi. The show is produced by STL Gospel Show, an internet radio channel hosted by Sean "Scooda" Thomas and Kid 3.
St. Louis has a dedicated Gospel rap scene. Sadly, the main showcase for Gospel rap artists, The Body nightclub, shut down earlier this year, so this is an opportunity to see several artists at once, something that's become rarer since that venue closed.
