Ex artistic director, Baba Israel, returns to Contact in Manchester with Spinning Wheel, a collaboration with Unfinished Business, which interprets his father’s rich legacy of 1960s New York counter culture.

Steve Ben Israel, who passed away in 2012, was a New York jazz musician, poet, stand-up comic and member of the The Living Theatre.

Exploring Steve’s life, Spinning Wheel, celebrates artistic expression, political activism and remixes past and present in a fusion of storytelling, hip-hop, jazz and spoken word.
