Fusing together awe-inspiring street dancers from Krump, FlexN, and Breaking communities with the virtuosic music-making of The Beatbox House, this work explores the universal elements of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Commissioned by Works & Process, The Missing Element is an immersive experience where street dancers and beatboxers utilize their abilities to embark on an adventure of sound and dance. All music and sound is 100% human-generated.
The Beatbox House is a collective of world champion beatboxers. Through education, performance, and collaboration, the collective is rebranding the art as a new form of music, pushing the boundaries of the human voice.
Past performances have taken place at the Guggenheim Museum, Guild Hall, Jacob’s Pillow Gala, Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. The project started its life in renowned Brooklyn nightclub House of Yes.
