MACCA MALIK’s artistic journey began as a child when she moved from Atlanta, Ga to Berlin, Germany as a result of her Parents decision to pursue their artistic careers overseas. As Macca became older her fascination in Hip Hop Culture became wider. Through her older brother’s Hip Hop Organization she became more involved in their events and took time in gathering more understanding of each element. Still at the time she never participated physically in any of those individual aspects. Right until the beginning of 2004, where she started her intensive journey with breakin’ that lasts until this day and beyond. Her training includes oLive Dance Theatre, Sole Flave and 360 GunBattalion/Flava Dance Company. 

Her credits since joining the Company have also been, participating in promotional dance performances and stage/event performances, teaching, Feature Photo Spread in Philadelphia Weekly Magazine and Sponsoring “Breakin’ Jams/Competitions”. Macca has been blessed with having a chance to travel to various places through Breakin’ including Germany, London, LA, and South Carolina. She most recently was a member of Team USA at the International Women’s Hip Hop Festival in the UK, which went on to beat Team Europe in the competition.

There's only one Tori Amos album I really like, and it's the one that true Tori Amos fans call an aberration; but I love this quote from her:

“There's room for everybody on the planet to be creative and conscious if you are your own person. If you're trying to be like somebody else, then there isn't.”

So here are a couple photos of our beautiful new sign. We've only just begun.

You walk up to the edge. You can't see much beyond the precipice, but you have imagination, inspiration, hope. You say yes and you jump into a wonderful new adventure.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday at our very informal OPEN HOUSE. We want to show folks the new space and talk to people about their needs in an art space dedicated to movement and the development of new work and new ideas. I remember reading Virginia Woolf's A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN in college and I think her idea of what a writer needs to create is applicable to all sorts of creative people: having the space to help your ideas to grow to fruition.

It's all about the baby steps...

Working on the sign...




And here's a space in progress update...
