Experience urban arts and extreme sports like never before.
In this adrenaline-fuelled explosion of extreme urban sports, dance, music, and theatre, the Netherlands’ ISH Dance Collective create breathtaking poetry with every movement. Whether you float on ballet shoes or soar on skates, with ISH, it’s all dance.
Elements of Freestyle is about those redeeming seconds that make a complicated trick ultimately succeed — the freestylers’ total focus on the moment, the ecstasy and the feeling of complete and total freedom. In a spectacular fusion of breakdance, inline skating, skateboarding, freestyle basketball, BMX, and freerunning, ISH reveals the artistry behind the tricks of extreme sports. Both exquisitely beautiful and heart-poundingly exciting, this show from director Marco Gerris (So You Think You Can Dance) featuring a multi-award-winning cast of 12 packs a punch.
You simply will not believe your eyes as Elements of Freestyle bursts into action.
