After teaching a masterclass to Warwick University’s Street Vibe in March 2012, Broken Rose Artistic Director performed with them a second time at Warwick’s end of year carnival Summer Party in June 2012.

After debuting at Contact Theatre in October 2011, Broken Rose’s open stage dance and spoken word event went on to form Flow! #2 at the 24:7 Theatre Festival in Manchester, in July 2012.

Flow! #2 brought together dancers and poets in an extraordinary fusion of movement and spoken word.

This particular performance was a special surprise, prepared just hours before the show.

At the beginning of March, I ran a 6 hour hip hop and street dance workshop for warwick university’s Street Vibe, teaching them some new dance techniques, a hip hop style that begins to echo contemporary dance, and a routine that was performed (with myself) in their annual show, UNLEASHED at Warwick Student’s Union.

In this video, I talk about the experiences we had, as well as the giggles and the injuries! For the full performance, please go to www.youtube.com/brokenrosearts
