Pillar #1 – Dj’ing – history of the DJ and then an example of a scratch and blend and a call to the audience to engage with the performance.
Pillar #2 – Breaking – history of Break dancing and a live example to the audience capped off with a small hand “tutting” tutorial.
Pillar #3 – Graffiti – breaking down the importance of this pillar while expressing the evolution of Graffiti into the canvas of visual arts overall.
Pillar #4 – MC’ing – the significance of this role in the pillars being the community energy source when the pillars are activated. Capped off with a cool call!
Pillar #5 – Knowledge – breaking down the importance of this pillar and how combined with the other pillars are a roadmap to utility, mental and physical health, and a way to put action behind our energy towards a better, safer, community for everyone.
