Ithaca College

Rounding out our event spotlights for MLK Week 2017, “The Ultimate Weakness of Violence,” is the reveal of our guest artist!

26-year-old Brooklyn native Storyboard P has been named the performance keynote for the 2017 MLK Campus-Wide Celebration sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs at Ithaca College.

For more than a decade, Storyboard P has been innovating the Flexing scene, a competitive New York dance form that combines elements of breakdancing with the narrative and emotional intensity of contemporary dance movements. Storyboard P has been featured in New Yorker magazine and has performed in music videos for Jay-Z, The Bullitts, and Dawn Landes. He has participated in Ted-x Atlanta and is the focus of a new documentary covering his experience dancing in Sweden. With the frame-by-frame precision of an animator and the awe-inducing wizardry of a special-effects artist, he shows us real life through dance, and he chooses to do it wherever the spirit moves him.

The undisputed King of flex dance and mutation - the “Basquiat of Street Dance” - Storyboard P is the most uniquely expressive street dancer in the world. Come watch his movement on Thursday, January 26, at 7:30pm in Dillingham Hall’s Clark Theater.
