As cofounder and codirector of the International Festival of Urban Movement: Breakin’ the Law, King brought the global culture of the arts, specifically hiphop culture, to Madison. Currently, he works internationally to foster youth appreciation for the arts as creative arts instructor at Foundation Global Education as well as a dance instructor at Ananta, both in Hong Kong. One of the alumni featured in Alumni Park exhibits, King is a 2014 recipient of the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s Forward under 40 Award.  

greenTONE a cappella (3 p.m.): This all-female contemporary group includes alumni from the UW–Madison student ensemble Tangled Up in Blue.

All events are free and drop-in — no registration is required. Space may be limited, and we recommend you arrive early for the breaking workshop.
