"Last year, myself and an intergenerational group of five artists and community workers between the ages of 21 and 88 carried out a project called Material Stargazer, a performative installation developed with community centers and theatres across Montreal.

The idea is that in each location, the group welcomes locals into a multidisciplinary, participant-led creative process culminating in an exhibit and performances. Collaboratively, the project’s aesthetics and goals are designed around local community dynamics, testing boundaries of authorship, creative practice and activism. What happens when we bring the theater to the community center or when we bring the neighborhood into the theater?"

7Starr will present the history of krump culture while sharing his journey as a pillar of krump in Canada. He will discuss the evolution of his practice and street dance culture in the Quebec and Canadian artistic ecosystem, as well as the importance of continuing to challenge various mindsets regarding this culture.

This lecture is a writing of the moment, the live that scratches, hesitates, affirms, then retraces its steps. It is the search for a common thread that connects the fragments of a quest that I call “choreographic,” for lack of a better term. It is my disappointed desire to find a branch to rest on, a restlessness, a decoy, an abstract drift.
