His literary work is a sponge that has been soaked with a strong blend of culture and spirituality. He uses spoken word poetry and theatre as a vehicle to drive empowerment, freedom, and pride to the international community from a Haitian perspective. He is the founder of South Florida’s monthly interactive spoken word experience, P.H.I.R.S.T. IMPRESSIONZ (2002-present). Underscore has also facilitated writing workshops throughout South Florida. He served as the Artistic Administrator, Acting Coach, and spoken word instructor for Miramar Cultural Art Center’s Summer Camp Little Broadway (2012-2013).
Mr. Augustin has also been an educator in the classroom at various Miami Dade County Public Schools for over a decade. His resume includes Rookie Teacher of the Year and an international co-teaching experience in Kenya, Africa.
From public schools to galas, spoken word venues to civic leadership conferences, Berwick’s tongue is the pen of a ready writer. As a speaker and performing artist for over a decade, he has been blessed to arouse purpose, passion, direction, and discipline into the lives of many. Since 2004, he has been a member of The Maroons, a multi lingual Haitian-American spoken word troupe that has been guest artists in Africa, dozens of theatres and colleges across the United States. Northeastern University, Bethune-Cookman University, and the University of Miami are few of the platforms they used to educate multi-racial audiences about the Haitian culture and the plight of Haitian Americans in America.
Berwick has written, produced, directed and acted in numerous stage productions. He was a theatre finalist for The Arsht Center for The Performing Arts’ Miami-Made commissioning process. As a playwright, his plays reveal the true essence of reality by fusing his visionary mind with the power of interpreting hands. From 2005-2010, he released four spoken word CDs (The Base The Chase The Place; I’m Looking, Babymama, and Babydaddy). On the theatre stage, he has been blessed to premiere new works Libere Liberis (2004), HaitiArt (2006), The Awakening (2007), DiaspoArt (2008), Pray-Hope-Help (2010), Timeless Love (2011), Clashing Christmas Carols (2011), Living This Life (2014), and Hispaniolove (2016).
Under his leadership Evoke180 LLC was founded in 2004 to fuse pieces of the arts and multiculturalism into well-blended productions for the international community.ver menos
