This Philadelphia-based multicultural dance company, founded in 2002 by Brandon “Peace” Albright, of Rennie Harris Puremovement, and Forrest “Getumgump” Webb, of the Illstyle Rockers, creates work rooted in contemporary and old school hip-hop.
The current repertory, Same Spirit Different Movement, celebrates the urban spirit of hip-hop with a dynamic overlay of innovation and verve. The New York Times dance critic Roslyn Sulcas wrote, “the ensemble displayed some of the most dazzling breaking techniques I’ve ever seen, while Mr. Albright’s choreography possessed a sly humor and an adept sense of spatial composition. Watching these dancers was like watching the greatest ballet virtuosos, each fighting gravity and the appearance of effort, and demanding and getting the impossible from the human body. They were fabulous.”
Sulcas cited the company’s performance at Chuck Davis’s Dance Africa Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music as one of her “top five” dance events of 2010.
