Antics Performance presents “BREAKING THE CYPHER” an expansive vision of hip hop and street culture featuring the extreme physicality of breakdancing, with the verbal intricacies of spoken word and rhymes, plus a DJ and three exclusive dance films at the El Portal Theatre, August 9 at 8pm and August 10 at 7pm. Led by Artistic Directors Amy “Catfox” Campion and Jacob “Kujo” Lyons, this explosive production pays homage to the moves and stylistic expressions of breakin’s early origins, while using innovation and self-expression to further evolve the art form.
Highlights of “BREAKING THE CYPHER” include: Decyphering, a high-energy dance that creates new possibilities for how a "cypher" or dance circle can take form, Lost in Musical Sensation: exploring the personal internal journey a dancer takes when improvising dance, and Breaking Timeline: a look at the history of breakdancing. Lux Aeterna Dance Company will present in duet form "Beached," winner of the 2008 Lester Horton Award for best performance by a dance company. Featured artists include Outer Circle, the dynamic multi-cultural (Chinese-American/Latino-American) breaking duo of Peipei "Peppa" Yuan and Giovanni "Barafuco" Avelar. Peppa and Barafuco are renowned breakers who have been winning competitions including Danger Room Bonnie & Clyde Battle, the Furious Styles Anniversary Battle and are featured on ABC's “Dance Machine.”
