Breakin’ Convention at Blackpool Grand
Get ready for the mighty TRAPLORD, the Olivier Award-winning creation from Ivan Michael Blackstock – a visionary creative behind choreography for Beyoncé and other global names. Exploring masculinity and mental health, TRAPLORD is a powerful fusion of movement and storytelling which challenges racial stereotypes of Black men. Next up, Low Air (Lithuania) – Lithuania’s first independent urban dance company, established in 2012 by creators Airida Gudaitė and Laurynas Žakevičius. Based in Vilnius, it blends street dance with contemporary performance to foster community and educate youth, earning numerous national awards and international recognition.
Also in this year’s line-up is Femme Fatale (France/Mexico/South Korea), a mesmerising female trio known for their musicality, precision, and technique. All this, plus incredible local talent from House of Wingz, Freefly crew ft Sam and Aysh De Belle, and 0161 Studios. Breakin’ Convention is a total hip hop takeover, arrive early (17:30) for free pre-show activities like cyphers, workshops, graffiti and DJs. The vibe hits the moment you walk in.
