Beat Breakers Program at Bronx Academy of Letters

Beat Breakers was a pilot program held after school at Bronx Academy of Letters. For a few weeks this spring, I had the opportunity to help facilitate this program along side Ken Swift. Here's some pics from the final performance in June and a promo video highlighting the experience.

As part off Hip-Hop Theater Festival's Humanities Series, Joe Schloss Ph.D., will join the legendary Ken Swift in a conversation about aesthetics of Breaking and Rock (two distinct forms of Hip-Hop Dance), cultural history, the need for documentation and the absence of institutional support in preserving the heritage of New York's Hip-Hop cultural legacy.
