Street dancers battling hula hoopers? In Oakland: yes! I posted Agatrons video recently, and theres been a push toward activism on my page (#paytheartists). Now enjoy this breakers vs. hoopers battle that me, Agatron and other artists did at a 2013 event I co-organized with 5 other volunteers, on the steps of Oaklands city hall, dedicated to ending violence against women. Over 500 people attended, and that day is one of the stars in the constellation of my life thats solidified my commitment to being an artist-ACTIVIST (arctivist?). I understand the value of donating skills *where they are needed.* Theres just a difference between donating to non-profit endeavors dedicated to building a better society--and giving work away to for-profit ventures that use unpaid labor to increase their own profits. This act is a battle, but in reality, the dancers and the circus artists are friends. The real battle that day was Oakland vs. normalized violence against women. Our fight was with the culture. Thats still the fight. Hoopers are: Revolva, Marria Grace, Zach Fischer, Brecken Rivara, Tiana Zoumer, Ryan Elwood, Antonio Gomez Dancers are: Agatron, Xzist, Jeffrey Michael, Jana Rowlan, Johnny Waacks https://youtube/watch?v=fvpk477KrSM
