Raphstravaganza· An Urban Kinetic Experience

In 2016, Leading hip-hop artist, film maker, 2013 Pew Fellow, 2014 Guggenheim Fellow, 2014 United States Artist Fellow and Breaking Hall of Fame inductee Raphael Xavier, brought together masterful street performers, extreme BMX riders, acrobatic contortionists, and live music for Raphstravaganza: An Urban Kinetic Experience, a contemporary circus-style performance in City Hall's courtyard. Original compositions by saxophonist, composer, and 1996 Pew Fellow Bobby Zankel acted as musical composer for the urban styles that Xavier says "profoundly influenced my life during childhood and have shaped the artist I am today." Performers included Bill Shannon, a choreographer, dancer, and Guggenheim Fellow known as Crutch Master who has choreographed for Cirque Du Soleil; James 'Cricket' Colter a founding member of the world renown, Rennie Harris Puremovment, top professional BMX rider Pete Brandt and gravity defying slack liner, Martin Hernandez. A set of four, 25 minute choreographed performances were structured throughout the courtyard space and paid tribute to the soul of the city, inviting discovery of urban street dance and movement. “I had the idea of bringing together all the (street) performers in the city to one space so you don’t have to walk from City Hall to the subway station to Rittenhouse Square,” Xavier said. “Now you can see them all at one spot and from around the world!” ~Raphael Xavier “I love this because it shows you’re never too old to do what you loved doing as a kid,” ~Raph Xavier Cast and Credits Written and Produced by Raphael Xavier Producers Jos Duncan Asé Paolo Pilladi Choreographed by Mourad Merzouki Set Design by James Dupree Morgan Repasy Raphaella's Black Hudson Maddie Church Dancers Phil Cutino Bryant Lee David Heller Haylee Warner Harley Trautman Siri Lindskrog Pamela Heatherington Poet/Voice Shar’ifa Malik Poetry written by Raphael Xavier BMX Rider Pete Brandt Crutch Master Bill Shannon Tails James P.
