Podcasts about hip hop international

Що формує ком'юніті, якщо немає споту? Як навчити культури, а не лише рухів? Коли починається справжній хіп-хоп: із winmill чи з knowledge? Чи достатньо п'яти базових елементів, щоб описати культуру хіп-хопу? Що залишається після танцю, крім сліду на паркеті? У дев'ятому епізоді Street Culture Podcast «Міста» говоримо про Черкаси разом із Максимом Оробцем aka Maximus – танцівником, хореографом і наставником. Засновником Explosion School, Max Dance, Ukrainian Underground Camp, Explosion Battle, Start Up, Explosion Choreo Fest. Переможцем Hip Hop International, Juste Debout Швейцарія, SDK, чемпіоном WORLD OF DANCE, EXPLOSION BATTLE, HHI та ще понад 300 івентів. Творцем авторських навчальних програм для педагогів і суддів стрит-напрямків. Макс говорить про рідні Черкаси – місто, з якого все почалось. Від перших хаотичних двіжів до створення власної школи. Розповідаємо про те, як це було – виживати в широких штанах у 2000-х, хто такі «нефари» по-черкаськи і чому хіп-хоп став не просто танцем, а шляхом до себе. Цей епізод – не лише про місто Черкаси, а про шлях, який трансформує і тебе, і середовище навколо. Слухайте епізод про Черкаси на Apple podcasts, Spotify, SoundCloud і MEGOGO Audio. Це фінальний епізод третього сезону Street Culture Podcast «Міста». Ми дослідили локальні сцени, зафіксували живу історію української стрит-культури через голоси тих, хто сам створив свій шлях. Дякуємо всім гостям, які поділилися своїми історіями, слухачам – за довіру та інтерес, а також ведучому Єгору Матюхіну – за енергію, глибину і любов до ком'юніті. Цей сезон – частина академії Street Culture, де ми розповідаємо про лідерів Grassroots Generation, які качають свої міста й змінюють країну знизу догори. Подкаст про вуличну культуру України творимо спільно зі Street Culture, uabreaking та New Democracy Fund. Дізнавайтесь, як брейкінг, графіті, хіп-хоп та стріт-арт змінювали обличчя міст і творили нові ком'юніті.
