Breakin' Convention is Sadler’s Wells’ critically acclaimed international festival of hip hop dance theatre, returning for its seventh year from Saturday 1 – Bank Holiday Monday 3 May 2010. The festival is hosted by Breakin’ Convention artistic director and MC Jonzi D, who presents crews from every street corner of the globe.
The line-up for Breakin’ Convention 2010 promises to include some of the world’s finest poppers, lockers, house dancers, b-boys and b-girls, and is announced in January 2010. Previous performers at Breakin’ Convention include ZooNation; Pied Piper creators Boy Blue; legendary hip hop pioneer Ken Swift; gravity defying champions Project Soul from Korea; the innovator Mr. Wiggles and Britain’s Got Talent favourites Flawless.
As well as performances, the festival weekend has an incomparable workshop programme taught by pioneering artists, live graffiti and aerosol art commissions on the foyer walls, and award-winning DJ crew Tha En4cers playing old skool funk and breakbeats to packed circles.
Having sold out for six consecutive years, Breakin’ Convention has become a major event in the hip hop dance calendar. Alongside the festival, Breakin’ Convention runs a year-round programme of events and a national tour is planned for October 2010.
