Breakin’ Convention – International Hip Hop Festival

On 23rd and 24th May, Breakin’ Convention (the international festival of hip-hop dance theatre) came to Curve, Leicester for the first time. Breakin’ Convention is an award-winning and critically acclaimed organisation that represents the origins and evolution of hip hop culture “from around the world and around the corner”. The festival brings dancers, rappers, beat-boxers and graffiti artists into the theatre.

I directed two films for the event: one documenting the festival and a second film following world champion turntablist, Jon 1st, as he explores the rise of electronic DJs.

The festival, hosted by Jonzi D, Mr Shay and John Berkavitch, was a great success featuring international acts such as the Soweto Skelton Movers, Tentacle Tribe and Just Dance.
