Breakin Convention


Kayzar Reloaded were invited to be part of Future Elements - the supporting act to the internationally acclaimed Breakin' Convention festival which is now in its seventh year.

Taking place at Sadlers Wells, the event gives aspiring young artists the chance to work with some of the 'coolest, inspirational professional Hip Hop artists' and produce and star in their own music video.

"Kayzar Reloaded's piece Hype was so slick and manicured that it was a wonder such young people could pull it off. Dressed in black tracksuits, white gloves and balaclavas they were seamless, crisp and bold, using each other as human skip ropes and components to build robot like imagery, even presenting themselves as a gun shooting bullets off at one point; dancers rolling off into the space as pellets, gravity momentarily turned off. It was smoking hot and energetic with the youngest dancer, a seven year old, only serving to make me feel even more inadequate as a trained dancer myself. Breakin' Convention's Projects Manager Kate Scanlan claimed that 'a few years ago, we had a three year old dancer perform' and that they had since 'gone on to perform in the main events at the festival as a six year old'. Future Elements has a focus on progression and vital to the success of the project is also the ingredient of co-operation and support between the young artists."
