Palestine: Hiplomacy with HaviKoro
HaviKoro Breakdancers tour Palestine
With support of the US Consulate in Jerusalem, HaviKoro Breakdancers toured the West Bank cities of Palestine, Ramallah, Nablus as well as Jerusalem in performances with local rappers, DJs and B-boys. Highlights of the tour included performances at Tomorrow's Youth center in Nablus:
"Havikoro and Identity gave an electric and interactive performance for almost 200 community members at the TYO Center in the Zafer al-Masri Foundation Building in Nablus today. Young Nablus residents were engaged from start to finish, clapping, dancing and at times singing along with the performers. Earlier in the day, Havikoro, a Houston-based hiphop and breakdance group, held a workshop for Identity, a group of young dancers and rappers from Askar refugee camp in Nablus. Together, the performers worked to improve their craft and talked about the importance of art in building bridge and transcending national boundaries."
