Crazy Smooth: In My Body

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Crazy Smooth: In My Body explores the hardship and heroism of ageing in street dancing, bringing together an intergenerational group of nine dancers to enact and perform a battle against time. Reflecting hip-hop culture, b-boys/b-girls present a façade of confidence and invincibility as they engage in battles to prove their worth and assert their dominance, with physically demanding and visually impressive choreography alongside projections. Writer Alejanrdo Rodriguez provides a powerful backdrop of personal stories of survival, triumph, and defeat drawn from interviews that he conducted with the dancers, including DKC Freeze, the oldest dancer in the company (born 1965), and Tash (born in 1971). Brought together by an international creative team, including original music by DJ Shash'U, Crazy Smooth: In My Body goes deep into the culture of hip-hop through the eyes, minds and bodies of the multi-generational company.
