Yesterday, I received a message from
@jamaaldrisc_ from Birmingham, and it made me very happy. Last February, he led a workshop with the Candoco CreativeLab for a young audience at Mountview Peckham Theatre School in south London, to share his personal approach of Breaking and to celebrate the rich influence of hip-hop culture, heritage and traditions. On this occasion, Jamaal presented my photographic work to spark the imagination of his audience and create a space for exchange, which they then used to produce creative work based on the prints. With contributions from the participants and the support of the teaching team, this event led to positive and stimulating exchanges, highlighting creativity, community spirit and mutual fulfilment. It is a real pleasure to see my work become a tool for sharing knowledge, which aligns perfectly with why I document Breaking jams. And it is an honour for me to see a talented dancer find it useful for his teaching work. Thank you, Jamaal. Thank you
@ro.ci.cha for the photographic record.
