BBoys for Life

BBoys and BGirls have in recent years, established themselves as a prominent force in contemporary culture and lifestyle. Arbiters of taste, superstars of the club scene and global icons for a generation of Hip Hop fans, their influence is huge.

So Punch were really excited to present the BBoys for Life Conference on the 23rd June 2007 at the The REP, Birmingham in partnership with the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and BBoy’s Attic. This conference truly was the first of it kind in the UK as we brought you the chance to reflect on the culture of BBoying and inspire a new generation of artists.

We investigated the history, lifestyle, culture and champions of the art form through a series of panel discussions, lectures, master classes and films. BBoys for Life aimed to uplift and educate, as well as share the business and fun of the BBoy phenomenon.

Artists who took part included Popmaster Fabel (USA), Honey Rockwell (USA), TEKNYC (USA), Trac 2 (USA), BGirl Aruna (The Netherlands), The Next One aka Mauritizo (Italy), Benji Reid (UK), Hanifa Queen (UK), Jonzi D (UK), Normski (UK) and many more!
