In 2004, hip hop theatre pioneer Jonzi D set his mind to creating a festival that would become the powerhouse behind a hip hop dance theatre revolution. 20 years (and festivals) later Breakin’ Convention is still going strong, accelerating the careers of now iconic names in hip hop and inspiring future generations of artists and fans.
Journey through Breakin’ Convention’s 20 year history and look back on unforgettable festival performances, from killer krump, to powerful popping and boss-level breaking. Experience how the sounds of hip hop have evolved over the years with a bespoke soundtrack by music producer Jammz.
