Overview

There's a reason that flexing, the rhythmic street dance style from Brooklyn that has gained traction over the past decade, is also known as bone breaking. Just one glimpse of the performer's gliding, contortionist movements and you'll be wondering how their limbs remain intact.

At the aptly named FLEXN, however, something else will set your jaw agape. Flex pioneer Reggie 'Regg Roc' Gray and theatre and opera director Peter Sellars have corralled a cohort of dancers use their moves to tackle post-Ferguson social injustice. In their pausing, snapping and other energetic dance displays, a beautiful, brutal statement is made.
