The Sydney Festival 2009 will kick off this Saturday, 10th of January 2009 with Festival First Night. Returning for it’s second year. Last year Dancekool instructors, Nao, Akio & Hideboo performed in front of a large crowd in Martin place. This year it’s our turn.
Our theme for 2009 is Sydney Dances and we want you to help us transform the CBD into one mass dance floor! We have a short dance work, specially choreographed for Festival First Night, and we’ll be stopping the action on January 10 while everyone dances – The Sydney!
Nick Powers (Bboy Rely of Gravity Warriors fame), has managed to work his way into the beauocracy and has set us up an invitational crew battle with $2000 prize money. Judged by Demolition B-Girl, Scotty Do Roc & Danny.
The invited crews are:
- SKB
- RAW
- Hybrid Formz
- Juse
The first round battles are to be held in Hyde Park, at the Hyde Park Fountain Stage, at 4pm. All competing B-boys must arrive by 3.15pm at the latest.
The final battle will be held in Martin Place as part of Festival Night Celebrations at the Castle Stage from around 8.14pm (time is subject to change).
The final two crews are asked to arrive at the designated Green Room 1 hour prior to the final battle. The green room is located in:
