Professional Development
The evolution of hip hop theatre
One of Breakin’ Convention’s key priorities is supporting professional hip hop artists. We are passionate about providing opportunities and platforms for artists to learn, experiment and develop their practice. Explore our initiatives below.

Open Art Surgery
Open Art Surgery is a one week intensive for emerging hip hop artists. Work alongside cutting-edge mentors to test ideas, then present work-in-progress to a public audience - followed by a facilitated discussion to get feedback on your ideas.
Back To The Lab
Back To The Lab is a two week intensive for experienced choreographers to explore new ways of creating work, culminating in the development of a new piece that is performed in front of a public audience at Sadler’s Wells.
Higher Learning
Higher Learning is a hip hop theatre education and development programme, covering everything from: how to prepare for technical rehearsals, to devising marketing campaigns, to sustainable business models.
