Author: admin25 Aug
From the boys that brought you the BBoy DVD’s Seven Shadows. They are now producing a live event called the Shadow Wars on August 30 @ The Manning Bar Sydney Uni 11:30am.
Darrio and the boys are joining them for a quick Krump exhibition and then there will be international BBoying crews and live percussion for the whole day.
This is an all age event so it will be a great thing to take the whole family to. So come on down and join the event, we’d love to see you all there!
B-BOYS HIT EAST COAST FOR THE RED BULL BC ONE SHADOW WARS PROMO TOUR
A series of shows and workshops will take place in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney from 14 to 30 August. Benny (RSA), Hong 10 (KOR), Lilou (FRA), Physicx (KOR), Roxrite (USA), Ben-J (SEN) and Pelézinho (BRA) make up the crew and are sure to get the crowds screaming with their intricate footwork combined with original power moves.
The tour is a taste of what can be expected at the annual Shadow Wars competition, commonly touted as one of the premiere breaking events in Australia. Come November, Paris, France will be heating up to host the 2008 Red Bull BC1. Previously, hosts have included Johannesburg, São Paulo and Berlin.
The Red Bull BC One Exhibition Tour winds up in Sydney with the international guests judging Australia’s best Bboys in the Shadow Wars III event, ultimately deciding who Australia’s best is. Now in its third year, Shadow Wars is taking Australian breaking to the next level. Supported by Red Bull & Rockstar Games, the prize pool includes cash and a trip for Australia’s best Bboy to attend the Red Bull BC One in Paris, France.
“Red Bull’s support of breaking in Australia is great. Bringing out Bboys of this standard shows the level of breaking internationally and really helps the development of the local scene” says Shadow Wars event director, Mason Rose.
All of the exhibition shows are free to attend. For more information, head to www.redbull.com.au and follow the links to Red Bull BC One Exhibition Tour & www.sevenshadows.com.

Darrio Street Takes on the Sydney Biennale @ MCA
Author: admin4 Aug
Last Sunday (August 3rd 08) Darrio and friends finished the last of the events that they have participated in as part of the Sydney Biennale 08.
Darrio was invited to take part in the Biennale by the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) which was definately a great honour. It seems to be part of a trend by the facilities that have been formerly reserved for higher art forms, that they are opening there doors to the street or Hip Hop arts (dance/graffiti/music) and exposing their usual demographic to these art forms and by extension welcoming a new demographic through their doors drawn by the street styles.
The exhibitions and workshops have been a great success. Darrio and friends have put together a small choreographed routine combining many Hip Hop Styles such as Breaking, Locking, Popping, Hip Hop & KRUMP.
Crowds that gathered to watch the performances have been as diverse as the people dancing. All ages and nationalities. Families, young people, the more mature art viewing crowd, all of whom seemed to be equally puzzeled, delighted and wowed by the display.
I was especially delighted by a more mature lady who having seen me at the performance earlier, approached me at the bus stop still inspired and delighted “it was a wonderful performance wasn’t it?” she exclaimed “those young boys have so much energy”. I love seeing people appreciate the artform, particularly those who wouldn’t normally seek it out.
A special thanks to all those students and subscribers that made a special effort to come down and support the guys, your efforts and applause really are appreciated.
If anyone caught any of the the performances or workshops at the MCA make sure you share your thoughts and comments below…

Just a quick note of Thanks to the team at the Museum of Contemporary Art. Thank you so much for involving Darrio Street in your program for the Sydney Biennale. It really was a singular experience that was exciting and inspiring all at once.
The opportunity to bring Hip Hop and KRUMP to such a facility was truly an honour.
