Breakin' Convention, the critically acclaimed international festival of hip hop dance theatre, is back with another line-up of jaw-dropping performances by companies from around the world and around the corner. Now in its ninth year, this hugely popular Sadler’s Wells production is hosted and curated by eminent UK hip hop theatre artist Jonzi D. Alongside performances from local crews, Breakin' Convention features stunning performances from Clash 66 (France & Korea) bringing a sublime duet that will challenge the notions of hip hop dance theatre, UK Bboy Champions, Vagabonds Crew (France) and ILL-Abilities.
Breakin' Convention is much more than just a show - it is an experience! Take part in freestyle sessions with live DJs in the foyers from 4pm – plus food, stalls and graffiti artists throughout the building.
