Performing Arts: Dance Culture Shock Los Angeles Dance Troupe: A Beautiful Struggle

  • Picture-1_large

Culture Shock is an acrobatic crew that teaches students the foundations of urban dance and schools them on hip-hop's place in the artistic universe. For this Fahrenheit 451-inspired evening of movement, the company assembles to create a work borne out of the real-life experiences of locals. These people's relationship with art has helped them overcome physical disabilities, emotional trauma, and addiction. By harnessing the collective-minded vitality of hip-hop dance forms and steps like breakdancing, locking, and popping, A Beautiful Struggle shows how communal understanding can be achieved through cultural participation.
