SWIFT SOLOS is an evening-length series of vignettes based on the choreographic legacy and creations of Breakin’ innovator ‘Ken Swift’. This collection of solo and ensemble offerings will honor and sustain the original intent and creations of Kenneth Gabbert 'Prince Ken Swift' a pioneer in the form of Breakin' and a global Hip Hop icon. SWIFT SOLOS celebrates Ken Swift’s choreographic body of work from battle and cipher to the concert stage. Pivotal to the globalization of the American folk form known as B-Boying or Breakin’- break-dancing, Swift’s work as a master choreographer spans more than 30 years, crossing borders of race, age, culture, genre and venue. oDT’s reconstruction of Swift’s work focuses the company’s “phenomenal hip-hop prowess” (Philadelphia Inquirer) on presenting audiences with a comprehensive retrospective outlining the breadth and magnitude of this Breakin’ Master and the potential of this hip hop dance form.
