FESTIVAL THEATRE

Breakin' Convention 12

Fri 18 & Sat 19 May 2012

Foyer activities from 6pm
Stage show 7.30pm

BOOK TICKETS

After the HUGE success of Breakin’ Convention ‘10, the not-to-be-missed hip hop event makes an explosive return to the Festival Theatre this May.

Breakin’ Convention is more than just a show – it’s an experience. For two nights only the entire theatre is transformed with pre-show and interval activities in the foyers - including an open circle with live DJ - P-Stlyz accompanied by world-class drummer Paul Mills (Average White Band), have-a-go workshops, graffiti art by Edge 23, giveaways and more...

Just when the buzz in the foyers reaches its peak, some of the top hip hop artists on the planet, plus the best local dance crews, showcase their skills live on stage. Featuring a sublime duet by Clash 66 (France & Korea) that will challenge the notions of hip hop dance theatre, and the current bboy world champions Vagabonds Crew (France).
