The Underground: Street Chronicles Tuesday, September 3, 8 p.m. Bovard Auditorium One year after their incredible debut performance at USC, The Underground Street Dance Company, led by krump founders Miss Prissy and Lil “C”, will take the Bovard stage once again! Last year, The Underground electrified a capacity crowd with a live theatrical experience on the art of krump. This year, they will premiere The Underground: Street Chronicles, starring Miss Prissy, Lil “C” and more of the best street dancers in the world. Each of these dancers has a unique story of struggle, which they express through diverse, highly expressive street-dance forms. Witness their explosive energy in a thrilling performance that shows how dance is a crucial form of expression, a coping mechanism and a means of connection in a complicated world. The performance will be followed by a conversation with the dancers moderated by USC Annenberg professor Sasha Anawalt.
