KRE8! is an event curated by Marso Riviere, originally created and hosted as part of B-Side Hip Hop Festival since 2016.
History:
Originally set as a 2vs2 Bonnie and Clyde (mixed gender e.g. Male and/or Female and/or Trans identified gender) dance battle contest set as a Live Lab and open to any style under the street dance umbrella and beyond, open to all ages, live music is a crucial part of the event as well as a DJ warming up the audience and filling in intervals. ​ From small origins, it has now grown to an international scale with guest dancers from UK and abroad invited to compete. KRE8! celebrates 6 years in the making in September 2021 ! Since the Covid19 regulations and pandemic we have created various online video contests and unique programs, streaming short dance films and interviews with leaders in the Experimental Dance scene like Drosha (Open Your Mind). (see more: links below )
KRE8! is available for touring under various formats and adaptable to many settings.
