Breakin’ Convention – The Ruggeds – State Shift

UK Premiere. The Ruggeds presents a vivid duo of pieces about going with the flow or swimming against the current. State Shift is an intimate evening with musical accompaniment by Jessy ‘Boi Beige’ Kemper, including solo Turns and duet Waterbrothers. In Waterbrothers Lee and Roy challenge each other in a stream of movements in which the younger brother sometimes storms past the older one. In Turns, Virgil ‘Skychief’ Dey tries to find his way, his ability to move gives him the freedom to find new paths. The Ruggeds have been a collective of breakers for 15 years and are pushing the boundaries of their dance style in theatre.
