Full Circle Souljahs: Boxed In
Q&A with the choreographers will follow each performance!
Created by Full Circle Souljahs under the direction of internationally known Breaking veteran and Bessie Award-winning choreographer Gabriel “Kwikstep” Dionisio and critically acclaimed Street Dance Matriarch Ana “Rokafella” Garcia, Boxed In explores the nuanced overlaps in culture of Classical music, Ballet, and Hip-Hop.
Full Circle Souljahs invite pianist Michael Bond, Boston’s beat box extraordinaire Gene Shinozaki, and DJ KS 360 (Kwikstep) to provide a soundscape for this juxtaposition of J.S. Bach and classic Hip-Hop styles, sounds, samples, and dance forms including Breaking (Breakdance), classic Ballet, and Clas-sick Beat box.
