From then on, he had taught himself breakdancing, house, capoeira, theater dance, acting, singing, Martial Arts, and gymnastics, all without formal training. He then went on and founded the first Hip Hop group in Kurdistan, Street Wolfs, which led a revolution in the city of Erbil at age 13. In 2013, Hussein choreographed and created his first contemporary dance group, First Step Crew, where they performed at the Rawanga Awards in Kurdistan.

Leonie Bell presents Sonntags bei Loretta or It’s Sunday at Loretta’s Haus
Leonie Bell is a German-American theater-maker based in New York. She creates fake family parties, pseudo-historical excursions, and other theatrical tantrums that endow the audience with more creative powers and foster a momentary feeling of belonging amongst strangers. Then there’s some more stuff here about stuff no one can remember and then over here we have the thing that used to exist between dawn and dusk. Reminder to check on your LOCAL GRANDMA and have a snack at www.leoniebell.org
