Symphony in Slang

Symphony in Slang is inspired by the strong characters, the physicality and the rhythm of Tex Avery’s cartoons. The extreme movement of the cartoon characters expresses their instincts, urges and emotions which are extreme versions of our own.
“Lene Boel has choreographed a pair of hip hop dancers in Symphony in Slang, a performance inspired by the extreme cartoon world of Tex Avery. With super precision the dancers throw themselves into the insanely difficult art of visualizing sound with the body. It goes completely berserk when David Boyd and Daniel ´Sonic`Rojas abandon themselves to their hip hopping stunts and energy-pumping vitality .They are pure human precision bombs. There is great substance in this performance and hip hop dance receives here a surprising new twist.”

Trained at several of the leading schools in London, New York and Holland – among them, London Contemporary Dance School. Merce Cunningham Studio, Susan Klein School, Trisha Brown Company and European Dance Development Center.
