Sassafrazz: Roots & Mastery is a 20-year exploration that will focus on the three stages of a practitioners Break life. Birth, life, and death will be represented by three levels and styles of Breaking: Top Rock, Footwork, and Ground Text. It is inspired by the word sassafras—a dried root used for flavoring—the old/original character based dance styles and flavor in Breaking, and the acceptance/privilege of maturing as a dancer in the Breaking genre in search of the combined: aging and mastery. This original narrative will be composed and choreographed for three Breakers and three Jazz musicians. Estimated artist fee: Estimates do not include hotel and local ground transportation: $18,000/performance; $32,000/week
