Details
Fuel your soul this spring with Breakin’ Convention, the world’s biggest festival of hip hop theatre. Hosted and curated by Jonzi D, the festival features the freshest works from your favourite artists.
Get bank holiday ready for jaw-dropping performances, live DJs, dance workshops, graffiti, emcees, and spontaneous cyphers all over Sadler’s Wells in an unforgettable experience. Welcoming all hip hop heads from the old school to the new school.
From the USA, Rock Force Crew – winners of the UK B-Boy Championship 2025 – bring their explosive energy to the stage. ILL-Abilities, the trailblazing differently abled b-boy collective, appear with two dancers showcasing their signature world-class skill. Social media sensations Let It Happen present a world premiere with their infectious take on classic hip hop dance. You’ll also see UK choreographer Lanre Malaolu’s world premiere FOUND, a striking encounter between past and present that unravels identity and memory through movement and text. Italy’s Compagnia Bellanda bring a dynamic duet fusing breaking and contemporary styles.
In the Lilian Baylis studio Breakin’ Convention Youth presents HOMESICK, celebrating the next generation of artists. Join us for a raw, electrifying fusion of movement, spoken word, rap, and grime, reflecting how young Londoners consider their lives, environments, and sense of belonging through collective storytelling. Choreographer Marie Kaae presents her poetic solo What She Said, blending house dance and spoken word to interrogate beauty, power and identity.
