OUT OF THE BOX – Hip Hop With An Attitude Is Back

 “It was a great show...energetic, entertaining, subtle, smooth, different, experimental and positive. Out of Box, was out of my expectations and stereo types. Most importantly it achieved the goals of curator Joshua Martin in presenting the creative talents of hip hop artists and the diverse depth of New Zealand dance.” -- Theatreview Review (October 2011)

This innovative Hip-Hop showcase features some of the country's top Hip-Hop dancers. This is Hip-Hop like you've never seen it - no competitions, just pure dance excitement.

'Out of the Box' features new and innovative works by Allister Salaivao (Prestige), Kat Walker and Josh Mitikulena (Hopskotch), Andrew and Richie Cesan (Identity), Andrew Jones, Joe Ling (Sound Vision), Ryan Carr (Nameless) and includes guest performances by some of Christchurch's finest dancers / choreographers.

Curator Joshua Martin has challenged a collection of NZ's finest Hip-Hop choreographers to show where Hip-Hop moves to next. This is not just great Hip-Hop, it also brings a fresh perspective and new genres into a dance for which New Zealand has gained international recognition.
