The Microphone Sessions Presents: The Mind Of Makaveli

August 19, 2010 Culture, Front Page No Comments

One of my allies, Leila Steinberg, (Tupac’s first manager and life-long friend) will be facilitating “The Microphone Sessions” a 13 week course on the revolutionary, intellectual, and metaphysical ideas of Tupac Shakur, as expressed in his music, message, and movement under the moniker “Makaveli”.

In conjunction with TruthAboutTupac.com and Leila’s non-profit organization Alternative Intervention Models,”The Microphone Sessions” is casting select participants for the academic seminar.

They are looking for diverse individuals who will commit to 13 weeks of reading, researching and exploring various themes in Tupac’s music and legacy. The in-depth semester will include curriculum centered around Tupac’s literature, interviews, music, movie symbolism and political organizing. Also, there is an amazing line-up of guest speakers who were celebrity associates, close friends and family of Tupac.

Participants must be willing to commit 2 hours every Monday night from 8-10pm, as well as be committed to homework studies. Each discussion will take place before a live viewing audience and will be videotaped for worldwide distribution via major multi-media platforms and television networks.

All candidates must submit a brief cover letter (one page max) detailing your background (academic, professional, and artistic), as well as your personal interest in participating. Also, please submit a resume, a high quality photograph, and an optional 1-2 minute video (of yourself). An excerpt from any scholarly paper that you have composed for an academic setting is beneficial but not required. There will be a fair tuition fee, which covers cost of attendance and course materials. Serious inquiries only.
