In this three-hour workshop, the broom is used as a central axis connecting the archetypes of the witch and the housemaid.
Facilitated by artists Eisa Jocson and Venuri Perera, the broom becomes a tool for playful transformation and somatic exploration.
Participants explore what it means to extend oneself through the broom, becoming one and becoming wild. Together, we’ll focus on the power of intention through movement and collectivity, and investigate the spectrum of beauty and monstrosity.
What is the class?
In these sessions, Kieron is going to teach you the 4 fundamentals of Breaking: Top Rock, Footwork, Power and Freezes. As you build an understanding of the foundations, you will start to play with these movements, learn about HipHop culture and get involved within our local community at jams, events and further opportunities.
We run weekly classes on Wednesday’s 5pm-6pm at Open Source Arts, Leeds. These sessions are for ages 7+ and are term time only at the cost of £8 per person.

About Children & Their Grown Ups Festival
The Smalls is a fun, fascinating interactive dance experience exploring the magical microworld of soil animals with small people and their grown-ups.
Many soil animals are tinier than termites and weeny-er than worms, yet the future of our food depends on them.
The time has now come to look down, deeper and defend The Smalls. Calling all soil supporters, creature campaigners, dirt defenders!
Join us for a joyful, playful celebration of The Smalls, as we wriggle together through the untold story of their ecosystem.
Plastic. Is it friend or foe? Remarkable or rubbish? Helpful or harmful? Plastic Drastic Fantastic is a dance show for families exploring our complex relationship – from the molecular to the planetary – with all things plastic.
Plastic Drastic Fantastic draws from the Indian classical dance forms, Bharatanatyam and Kathak, to explore plastics and the dangers of their misuse through intricate movement, gestures and playful audience interaction.
