About Krumping
The dance style krumping emerged in the 1990s in the African-American community of Los Angeles as a creative outlet for the aggression created by the wounds of social inequality, exclusion and racism. It is a raw, energetic and strong movement language in which authenticity and the expression of emotion are paramount. At the same time, krump is a peaceful and safe way to make yourself resilient against feelings of powerlessness as a result of unjust perceived violence. Today, krump is an important socio-political movement worldwide that connects communities and offers support and stability to many young people in particular, regardless of their living conditions. A The performance A Human Race demonstrates the power of dance in dissolving boundaries between social realities and between street and highbrow culture.
There will be a free Artist talk (Jan. 30) or Drop-in Workshop (Jan. 31) after the performance of A Human Race - The Rite of Krump.
