Unity Charity and Breaking Canada are pleased to warmly invite you to “Puttin’ in Work: Breaking Barriers” Panel Discussion at the Unity Studio on Nov. 25th! Join us as we unveil a brand new research report, participate in an important conversation for Canadian breaking. This ‘first-of-its-kind’ report was created with input from more than 20 breakers from across Canada, sheds light on the challenges and barriers that the Canadian Breaking sector currently faces. From developing new generations of breakers, to connecting and conveneing, to improving inclusion and diversity within the breaking community, our panel session will shed light on the report’s findings, and create space for conversation around what we can do next.

Testimonials

I went on stage, scared and confused, and one of their performers came up to me and said “you know why you are here, because you have a lot to say, so here is the microphone!” All of a sudden, I heard only the crowd. I could breathe air in my lungs, feeling the confidence as I exhaled. It was the greatest experience and a total confidence booster.”

Having a dedicated space that’s really well curated, or built or facilitated can make all the difference in [...] how willing and able you are to practice your art.
— UNITY Youth
Always a source of joy and tolerance and being in the moment with it, it felt really good to have that kind of community to back me up whenever I wanted to explore things, whenever I wanted to question things, whenever I wanted to show off my art form or learn from my missteps. Having that kind of safety net made me feel very comfortable and it was really one of the best things to happen to me during this phase of my life.
