The Fourth Annual J.U.i.C.E Hip Hop Dance Festival - World Peace September 30, 2011

Deeply affected by a recent visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Japan, producer-dancer-choreographer Emiko Sugiyama conceives an event celebrating world peace. Known for showing a wide range of street dance styles and performers, the festival adds a new component: each audience member will be asked to create an Origami crane which will be sent to the Children’s Peace Monument in Hiroshima, Japan. Los Angeles artist SANO and Japanese artist Shiro create original paintings to the funk, classic, break and hip-hop tunes spun by DJ Kenzo. Amy “B-girl CatFox” Campion and Jacob Kujo Lyons are co-Artistic Directors of J.U.i.C.E. Hip Hop Festival.

Confirmed performance groups: Antics Performance; Baby Boogaloo; Demolition Crew feat. Cindy Claes; Illstyle and Peace Production ( Philadelphia, PA ); ShyGuy & Tsuyoshi feat. Kiminari & Kairi from Hiroshima Japan and Versa-Style Dance Company West Bound.
