Breakin’ Convention will return for its 20 year festival in April 2023 at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London, bringing the return of performances, workshops and after parties.
Six acts present brand new short works devised and developed in just one week with mentorship from hip hop theatre aficionados.
This unique event, which takes place at the end of a week of intense research and development, presents six new works to the audience who are then invited to critique, feedback and ask questions to the artists involved.
Open Art Surgery is not about presenting finished work. The focus is to develop theatre skills within hip hop artists and to experiment with new ideas that could be developed further in the future.
Breaking down of the fourth wall to allow the audience to engage with the artists, Open Art Surgery is an unmissable event in the Breakin’ Convention calendar.
Hosted by Jonzi D

To celebrate 20 year's strong we’re bringing back Breakin’ Convention favourites Soweto Skeleton Movers with a brand new show at The Place.
From busking on Soweto’s Vilakazi Street to touring the world, this crew have astounded and amazed audiences with their comedic contortionism, frenetic footwork and magical hat tricks.
Now this new work sees each dancer share personal stories that put their Unbreakable spirit to the test, produced and co-choreographed by Lloyds Company and directed by Jonzi D. Watch as they explore township trauma through Pantsula dance, each seeking hope, healing and redemption.
