Popping with Shan
From January 3rd until 21st Storm did a production called "Em Pe na Estrada" in Havana in the "Retazos" theatre. Thanks to the french and the german embassy the project was made possible. Two years ago he went over to the Island to give workshops and to perform "Solo for two", and in order to continue the exchange and the creative flow, it was made possible to put a piece together.

Arkadi
Very surprising and helpful was the fact that a dancer called "Arkadi" from Malaga is living in Havana / Alamar now and helped Storm a lot while working on the project. In the near future they all hope, that Arkadi has a chance to perform the creation in Cuba.Also very helpful was the fact that Daybee and Shan came with Storm to the Island.Daybee assisted Storm wherever she could and Shan entertained everyone while rehearsing.

Storm in klassischem Kontext
The new Creation was performed first at the Festival de Suresnes in late January 2009 for the first time. It´s based on improvisation to 4 classical masterpieces. Storm: My tool, cocab and approach comes from a HipHop background. In this piece you see how I would be dancing at home in my living room. The transmission of feelings into movement, and also the courage to be different are the essential spices to make it work. That´s where the music and the style of dance become unconventionally one, as I interprete what´s played on my record player.
