Breakin Bread has always been an important part of the UK breakdancing scene. It's the only club that has a host of b-boys coming down every month. Other nights do it but these are events for b-boys rather than a general music club. Breakin Bread support the scene by hosting battles and showcases on alternative months and this month its' a showcase from the Junior Sinstars. The Sinstars are one of the UK's longest standing crews. |

Made by Katie Green - Lost & Found |
|
Live contemporary dance piece Lost and Found tells the hopeful story of a young woman who, realising something has to change in her life, finds the strength to make that change happen.
Created by double award-winning choreographer Katie Green, whose previous works have been described as “meaningful, moving”, “compelling”, “tender and beautiful” (Sanjoy Roy, Amy Johnson, Kate Larsen), Lost and Found will charm audiences by telling a story of resilience, of love lost and found, and of finding a way out. “Lost and Found was my first ever experience of contemporary dance and I would definitely like to see more!” |

This Is Now - New Art Club at Edinburgh Fringe |
|
It’s 1983 - Madonna releases her first album, Karma Chameleon by Boy George’s Culture Club is the top selling single in the UK, and the 13 year old future contemporary dance star Tom Roden illegally tapes the first ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ LP onto a C60 cassette. At the same time 15 year old Pete Shenton is busy painting his bedroom black and experimenting with which household product is best for making his hair spiky (its not furniture polish).
Fast forward twenty six years – Madonna is a divorcee banned from stealing African babies, Boy George is in prison on an abduction charge and Tom has teamed Pete to form New Art Club. Finding the old cassette in a draw one day, the two of them listen to it together and a brand new show is born. |
