Nouveau Sud Project performing "Static" at Breakin' Convention Charlotte 2015, Blumenthal Performing Arts, North Carolina. We all struggle to find our individuality and express our complex selves, but society seeks to keep us in stasis. This piece explores the narrative of breaking free from unseen bonds to become free through sound and movement. The music and dance will tell the story of individuals fighting against all opposition in an attempt to transform themselves from static to vibrant. Static is about the 360-degree individual that we all hope to attain in our lives – free from the confines of trend and paradigm to express our full selves. This story is told through the blend between hip hop theatre and the circus/ acrobatic world, exploring as the centerpiece the circus disciplines of simple wheel and the dance trapeze. The company – Nouveau Sud, Nouveau Cirque – springs primarily from the “underground” dance/acrobatic/physical theater scenes that thrive within the diverse cultural neighborhoods and communities in and around Charlotte. Through physical language – dance, movement traditions and circus arts – these communities tell stories of their struggles, histories, traditions, transformations, and iconography. Performers: Imani Chew, Adamma Haith, Ember, Brandon Lomax, Maf Maddix, Elijah Morrison, Mark Robertson, Jarrell Wallace Directed by: Carlos Cruz Breakin' Convention, the international festival of hip hop dance theater taking place at Levine Center for the Arts in Charlotte, North Carolina, October 9-10 2015.
