Project: R.E.B.E.L
  • Edinburgh International Festival

Hip-hop dance superstars Boy Blue Entertainment bring emotional energy, fierce movement and blistering music in a bold dance show presented in the heart of the community of Craigmillar. It is a premiere of Project R.E.B.E.L, performed by some of the UK's most talented young hip-hop dancers.

The special relationship between the school and the International Festival sees the transformation of the school gym hall into a Festival venue to host this show.

Students have worked with the whole International Festival team on how to run a world class event, including one-to-one mentoring and work experience. Boy Blue Entertainment has also run workshops introducing the school pupils to their dynamic style of hip-hop dance.

[Boy Blue Entertainment] have been a driving force in the remarkable growth of hip-hop dance theatre since the turn of the century

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
