A movement-based workshop on Krump and the politics of how we teach, learn and listen with our bodies. Move with us!

Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.
