The D.R.E.A.M. Project

December 16, 2015

Characterized by pausing, snapping, gliding, bone breaking, hat tricks, animation, and contortion, flex is a form of street dance that has evolved from the Jamaican bruk-up found in dance halls and reggae clubs in Brooklyn. This performance showcases flex in all its forms, including selections from Reggie (Regg Roc) Gray and Peter Sellars’ FLEXN at the Park Avenue Armory (2015). The evening started with a short conversation, Black Lives Matter Today, led by Regg Roc, which engaged the audience with some of the challenging issues of social justice featured in the performance.
