Friday was the Breakin' Convention 2010 film night, although throughout the day the acts had been arriving at Sadler's Wells from around the world. It's the last night the team will have before things start getting hectic...
Throughout the day, Jonzi D caught up with Adiaspora Collective, Phase T, Spread Expression, Hilty and Bosch and Suga Pop to get them to introduce themselves...

Breakin Convention Jane Sekonya-John
Jane Sekonya-John began her career training at the Johannesburg Dance Foundation in 1988 before gaining a scholarship at Ballet Rambert School of Dance in London during 1994. She will be performing her piece Spoti at Breakin' Convention 2010 on Sunday.
Interview with Jane Sekonya-John
By David Barros
Spotti: What is it about?
Spoti is a slang language for "fisherman's hat" in South Africa, so I took that and made it as a piece. The whole thing is about the story of a woman who was injured when she was young. Every time she puts on this hat it transforms her into her young self.
It not only transforms her into her young self, but it also brings back the memories of what she's been through, what she's done throughout her life until she had that injury, but she doesn't really want to remember or deal with it. Hence the reason why this spoti puts it over, she doesn't want to deal with it.
What is the message?
It can be anybody's story. As we know, people have different experiences when they have injuries in different ways, and whatever way they get through their pain or their healing or their story, its what makes a difference.
Where did the idea come from?
The idea was influenced by my injury, my personal injury. I was in The Lion King, I was one of the cast members and I was performing and I fell on stage - kapoop! - right onto my knee and I had to have major surgery on it.
Since then it took me a while to get through it and get back into performing, knowing, having to know my body and work around this knee. So that really encouraged me to do a piece about it.
Another thing I should say is the first time I performed it I actually swapped the legs! Meaning that the strong leg I used as the weak leg in the piece, and the weak leg I used as the strong one!
But as time goes on, and now it's what, 10 years down the line since I did the original performance? Now I feel that I had to swap it around and make it more real. 'This is the injured knee, so I am going to used the injured knee this time.'
What should people take away from it?
With this I'm hoping people will hear my story and experience what I experienced, and hopefully they will see it the way I portrayed it.

Breakin Convention video diary 3 - Future Elements
I wasn't about for the third part of the Breakin' Convention 2010 video diary, but for this video Jonzi was prepping the dancers for Future Elements (Thursday night).
Future Elements is where the kids get to 'run tings' as community groups get to perform ahead of the main festival in the Lilian Baylis theatre.

Breakin Convention Adiaspora Collective
The ADiaspora Collective is what you get when Vicki Igbokwe (Uchenna Dance) and Alesandra Seutin (Vocab Dance Company), collaborate creatively. Mixing Seutin's Afro-eclectic (African, contemporary, hip hop and Jazz dance, with spoken word and physical theatre) and Igbokwe's Urban Contemporary (House, Waacking, African, Contemporary and Vogueing) styles.
Frusted, their performance for Breakin' Convention 2010, was originally commissioned by East London Dance and Avant Garde, performed at Collabo as part of East London Dance's, season Dance Currents.
Interview with Vicki Igbokwe, choreographer for Uchenna Dance Company
By David Barros
Frusted: What's it about?
Frusted is about looking at the internal struggle that women face on a daily basis.
What's the message?
"Girl! I hear you and feel what your going though. Remember you are not alone." It is also a little bit of "I thought it was only me that went through that!"
Where did the idea come from?
The idea came from being in a studio full of women and realising we are all individual but go through similar emotions and scenario's in life. We (Alesandra Seutin and myself) wanted to create a piece that both us AND the dancers could own.
What you see is our life, our day to day struggles, our insecurities, us supporting each other, us feeling alone, us trying to hang on in there with life.
The dancers are powerful and take no prisoners.
What should people take away from it?
Life! Everyone has a different response to the work and we are interested in hearing these. There is not a particular 'thing' we expect you to take away. Above all we want you to enjoy the work and feel like you have been on some sort journey.
Whether you understand that journey or not, you feel it.

Breakin' Convention video diary 2 - Graffiti with Via Grafik
It's day two in the lead up to Breakin' Convention 2010. The graffiti writers have arrived, and they're preparing to transform Sadler's Wells into an enormous canvas.
André Nossek aka SLAVE (left) and Leo Volland aka BOE (right), collectively known as Via Grafik, joined Jonzi D by the back wall of Sadler's Wells which will be transformed into an enormous graffiti mural.
The mezzanine has been altered significantly to fit in the rigging in order for the back wall to get painted, and will span from the mezzanine to the second circle.

Breakin Convention 2010 Goodfoot dance
Goodfoot are a group of dancers that specialise in popping. They've been together for four years, and were recently finalists in Sadler's Wells' Global Dance Contest.
You can see Goodfoot at Breakin' Convention 2010 on Monday 3 May.
Interview with Shakeel "Shak" Meetooa, dancer in Goodfoot
By David Barros
The Box: What's it about?
It's about every person's imagination running wild when they were kids, playing with an empty box. That's all you needed to have fun, a box. It could contain anything and everything. This one contains music, objects, scenes, laughter and dance.
What's the message?
Ultimately, we want people to be entertained. Hopefully everyone will have something they can take home with them. Whether it reminds them of when they were young, whether we made them laugh, or maybe they just enjoyed watching us dance. Maybe even if they leave thinking "what the heck was that??" We hope they'll remember it.
Where did the idea come from?
It came from us thinking how could we possibly do all the random things we wanna do on stage, haha. What could be the source of all our madness that would allow people to understand what we're trying to do without spelling it out for them? A box is uncomplicated. But what's inside is significant. We've added dance and music to an object with limitless potential... And we think we might be onto something.
What should people take away from it?
Like I said earlier, even if you just laughed once, or saw a single move you liked, that's enough. We wouldn't want people to leave not remembering something when they hear the name "Goodfoot."

Breakin Convention video diary 1 - Breakin' Convention starts here!
It's the Monday, the week of Breakin' Convention 2010 and already, just by standing outside Sadler's Wells, I can feel the energy emanating from the place...
Monday 26 April 2010
All it takes is the glances of a few passers by looking at the Breakin' Convention 2010 poster and it makes you realise the impact it has had over the years, particularly since So You Think You Can Dance, and the retrospective envy I feel because TooMuchFlavour hadn't been about to keep a record of things since its inception...
In Jonzi D's Breakin Convention Diary today its all about setting the scene. Over the weekend some of the newspapers picked up on it, so its like this episode continues from what you saw on Sunday...

Breakin' Convention 2010 Unity and Unity Youth
You'll probably remember Unity from Move Like Michael Jackson, and their youth division, Unity Youth, from Got To Dance, but beside the TV appearances there's a deeper side to Unity that you'll see during their performance of Venus Vs. Mars Part 2 at Breakin' Convention 2010.
Interview with Tashan Muir, choreographer for Unity and Unity Youth
By David Barros
Venus vs Mars Part 2: What's it about?
What's the message?The message that we're tying to put across is domestic violence is something that happens. It's a thing where you hear about on the news. Loads of stuff happens in news every day, domestic violence is a thing that seems like it's not spoken about. A lot of women and men lose their lives for it, kids have to go into adoption and lose their welfare because of it. That's something we have to take. It's something I've gone through, and something others I didn't know others had too.
Interview with Tashan Muir, choreographer for Unity and Unity Youth
By David Barros
Venus vs Mars Part 2: What's it about?
It's a follow up to part one which we did last year, an in depth piece to make the audience realise how the first one came about. The first, performed at Serious About Streetdance was about domestic violence, this one showed how it happened. This is a prequel (although it's named part 2).
What I've done this time is incorporate the youth group. There are two young people in the youth group and it shows how they met at the start and how the violence started happening over the years.
What I've done this time is incorporate the youth group. There are two young people in the youth group and it shows how they met at the start and how the violence started happening over the years.
The first one I had all the ideas, but it was rushed to get the routine out. We got a really good response to it. It's good that happened as we've been able to go in depth with it and explore it, hopefully it can grow into something bigger and better in the future.

Finally, someone's speaking about it in a way that's positive because its a dance piece.
1) Women and men need to speak up
2) Let's tackle the problem.
Where did the idea come from?
My past. Going through it as a kid. It wasn't just about physical abuse, it was mental abuse. Just listening to people talk about it, that's where it comes from.
What should people take away from it?

What should people take away from it?
The awareness. If you go through situations like that in your life and turn it to a positive, it's a good thing, also for the dance community. A lot of the dance community dance because they love it and coz they express themselves. If there are happy and sad issues, put it into your dance and see what can come out of it.
A lot of people say UK hip hop dance theatre isn't as good as the rest of the world. Breakin' Convention is the platform dance groups can use to express themselves. Hopefully we can push that along and others can express themselves and think about where you can take your dance: that's the message we want to put across.
Hopefully when people see it they will say "UK hip hop theatre can make it."

Tony Gogo Breakin' Convention Pioneers Week
Tony GoGo is in town this week teaching the second in the series of Pioneers courses for Breakin' Convention.
20 dancers from across the UK are now confirmed as attending the intensive Pioneers programme.
Read our review of the Mr Wiggles Pioneers workshops here
Although the places for the week-long course have been booked up, there is still an opportunity to train with Tony GoGo in a series of one-off evening workshops aimed at engaging those who want to improve their locking but at a fraction of the price for the entire course.
The dates and times are as follows:
Billy Biznizz' Tony Gogo Q&A (free)
Billy's Q&A is an opportunity to listen to a genuine legend of locking talk about his life in dance and ask questions afterwards.
Last year's Mr Wiggles Q&A took a deep and insightful look into the pioneer's mind, and the Tony Gogo Q&A is sure to be just as enlightening for those obsessed with hip hop culture.
All workshops will take place at Sadler's Wells, London.
To book call the Sadler's Wells ticket office on 0844 412 4300.

Post-Breakin' Convention Updates!
I *heart* Breakin' Convention, enough to dedicate 1000+ words to the matter (unlike the newspapers...)
Going that one step further, I took it upon myself to get down to Sadler's Wells on Thursday, Friday, Saturday (even though I didn't have a ticket!) Sunday AND Monday, right through to the after party so I could immerse myself in the whole festival!
There was a lot of BC love. All of the artists performing found time to sign autographs and chat with fans (even though some got murked!), and what's better, they even found the time to talk with me - on camera!
Check out the review of BC'09 and see if you made it into the vox pops reel
Peace,
Flave

Breakin' Convention 2009 - Last part of Jonzi's Diary (for London, at least)
Good evening 'fans' of Too Much Flavour.
If like me you went to the Breakin' Convention after party last night you'll be experiencing the same disrupted body clock I am right now. The party didn't stop 'til 3 in the mooorning with true LEGENDS partying with the fans.
Ken Swift and the VII Gems, Mr Wiggles, Salah and the gravity defying Junior were all in the place to be, while members of Flying Steps were seen hanging at the bar, Company Salama and Lil' Tim threw down in the circles.
It was something else.
The after party sadly meant the end of the London BC festival before the tour (it's already at Wycombe as I type) meaning it was the last video diary I could do. Keep yourself entertained by watching the video (linked to this update) and peeping the photos from around the venue on the Facebook page.

Breakin' Convention updates! IT IS SOLD OUT!
Hey! Your first update is in the title - there are no more tickets for the London leg of the London leg of the BC tour. If you want a ticket that badly, you'll have to wait in a very long returned ticket queue!
Following that, the ENORMOUS mural at Sadler's Wells is being finished off as I type. Photos can be found in the Breakin' Convention album on the Too Much Flavour Page. It scales from the top floor down to the lower mezzanine. Even if you don't have tickets, you should still pop in to Sadler's just to see it.
Aaand thirdly, I caught up with Jonzi D yesterday to film the next entry of the critically acclaimed (on a somewhat minor scale) Jonzi's Diary.
I'll see you on the other side of the weekend, with news, photos, and reviews.

Midweek updates!
Oh, how we love a midweek update!
No doubt a lot of editorial energy has been spent chasing Breakin' Convention EXCLUSIVES (so EXCLUSIVE I had to put it in capitals) which have thus far included SALAH and b-boy KEN SWIFT, plus the diary of JONZI-D - the reason the whole Breakin' Convention thing happened.
I hope you're enjoying them - there's more to come! Make sure to get your tickets before they sell out.
Older notes have been dusted off too, and I've managed to get some stuff on Battle of the Year up too.
Have yourself a midweek read, and if you like any of the articles, remember you can click the Share button to put a link to them on Facebook.
