Kujo's Lux Aeterna Dance Company - "Sephiroth"

Jacob "Kujo" Lyons has been a progressive voice and an iconoclast in the break-dance community for 15 years, and is a sought-after teacher and judge of b-boy/break-dance competitions worldwide. Originally a self-taught street dancer, Kujo began studying modern, ballet, choreography, and biomechanics late in his career. The fusion of these elements with break-dancing resulted in the idea to form Lux Aeterna - "eternal light" in Latin.

Lux Aeterna's raison d'etre is two-fold: first, an attempt to expand on the idea that "to dance ballet is to use oneself to express something beyond oneself." Any style of dance may be utilized to convey the transcendent or sublime, provided the intention and attention to technique are appropriate. Second, as there are no true boundaries in art, there is no reason that break-dancing might not be compatible with ballet, or with with any other style. Movement is movement.

"Sephiroth" is Kujo's second work of choreography, created in February 2007.

Dancers:

Jacob "Kujo" Lyons

Gosh is that Hok from Quest Dance Crew? Might be? The guy performing alongside you has braids and dances like Hok haha=)

[krazykujo]

Haha, yes, that's Hok. He's danced with us for almost a year now, and is taking a break while he gets famous on TV. ;-)

[Atrulean]

Wow! That is all I can say, wow! Such fluid movements with so powerful emotion and passion behind them. The fusion of ballet and break dancing used with a song that is a fusion of symphonic and rock - what a unique and breathtaking performance it has made. Once again, simply incredible!

[krazykujo]

Thank you! Just trying to show that movement is movement, no matter what "style" you're into.

I always thought Nobuo Uematsu's work would make great performance music. It's nice to see it used and done well.

[krazykujo]
