THE WILD GATHER: ON THE FLOOR, OFF THE SCREEN & THROUGH THE BODY

THE WILD GATHER is a 3-day call to move, honor, and celebrate the living lineages of Hip Hop dance and breaking. As part of Cornell’s yearlong mission for Freedom of Expression and in tribute of the 50-Year Anniversary of Hip Hop, PMA welcomes legendary B-Girl Rokafella for a PMA student showcase, All Style/Free Style Cypher, film screening, and more.

In collaboration with the Cornell Hip Hop Collection, the international Dance Films Association and Dance Studies Association, and Ithaca High School, movers and shakers of all styles and traditions are invited to this participate in this multi-event series commemorating the original ‘Wild Style’—graffiti, MCing, DJing, and breaking. Together, we uphold and put to practice the founding values of Hip Hop: social justice, peace, respect, self-worth, self-authorship, understanding, community, and having fun. THE WILD GATHER is an open floor and forum for ALL to see and to be seen, and to hear and to be heard.
