Taken briefly off guard by a surprise announcement from the influential b-boy duo The Legendary Twins AKA Kevin and Keith Smith, Breakin’ Convention founder Jonzi D watches on as both read out the heartfelt statement inscribed on his award given by the New York State Assembly acknowledging his undeniable contribution to the movement of Hip Hop which celebrates 50 years this year. An advocate of Hip Hop culture here in the UK, Jonzi D has been crucial to bringing Hip Hop to our stages and training the thought leaders of tomorrow. Returning yet again with a weekend long celebration of the form, Breakin’ Convention transforms Sadler’s Wells into a forum to connect, share idea and platform new work.
