HOOP

A choreographic exploration of hoops through time and space.

If you think the hula hoop is for children, Rebecca Halls will introduce you to a contemporary lifestyle choreography you didn‘t expect.

The Canadian, Berlin-based performer, yoga instructor, professional hula hooper and trained contemporary dancer founded Hoopurbia in 2012, the world’s first urban hula hooping event, which features a week of contemporary dance workshops, multi-disciplinary collaboration and dance competition. Rising from the Native American traditional, storytelling dance form, hoop dance has been adapted with a modern twist, especially with the introduction of Halls’s laser hoop prototype (LED hoops were already in use), her collaboration with scientist Jo Grys.
