He’s gone on to create exciting platforms for people to explore the different manifestations of hip hop - breakdance, music, graffiti, rap, beatboxing, and more. And to bring out inner feelings in movement, in expressions of joy and trauma, tension and release.
Jonzi calls it cultural energy and in his Breakin’ Convention festival at Sadlers Wells in London, he’s been wowing audiences with this brand of hip-hop theatre. Out of the festival, more exciting projects are growing and in a wide-ranging conversation with Akram, Jonzi remembers his beginnings in the world of movement, his seminal video Aeroplane Man, and how mind and body are occasionally at odds with each other.
