KRE8!Lab Goa

Hip Hop Movement identity, Flow and Expression

In today's abundant movement trends, KRE8Lab focuses on our internal voice,

individual movement flow and creative spirit!

We like to dwelve in research, talks about the origins of

Hip Hop, acro/soft acro, theatre, movement styles, culture and techniques, to innovate and grow.

The drive is to empower and to invite our dance and movement communities to a safe space where conversations are encouraged to open up about culture, to question where certain techniques may come from or be widely used beyond the scope of social media trends.

We thrive to just be and feel connected, to test ideas, to fail, to experiment and to reconquer, to feel the music or the sound of nature.

This intensive offers the opportunity to work with world class dance and movement practitioners, rooted to Hip Hop, Capoeira, Experimental concepts, Theatre and Performance.

Explore how to flow between Breaking, Hip Hop, House and other movement techniques within a beautiful private site surrounded by the Jungle, small villages and close to the ocean.

Located in Arambol, Goa, featuring onsite and newly built hut accommodations, a café restaurant, a swimming pool and various spaces to relax or reflect.

The program includes 5 days of intensive training 9am-5pm, time to reflect and research/practice, Discussions, Location visits, Beach Jam, and to test your skills at an All Style Battle Event!

Our Story

Founded and curated by award winning choreographer and creative director Mickael Marso Riviere

History:

Originally set as a 2vs2 dance battle contest, live laboratory and open to any style.

Live music and structured tasked given to the participants was what made the event truly special, including a DJ warming up the audience and filling in intervals.

From small origins, "KRE8!Lab" has grown to an international scale, as an event and educational platform, guest artists from the UK and abroad are invited to compete, teach and judge.

Since the Covid19 pandemic we have created various online video contests, unique programs, Breaking battles, streaming short dance films and interviews with leaders in the Experimental Dance scene like Drosha (Open Your Mind).
