Crowd_Ctrl by Malick Bright a.k.a AndroidX was awarded the Stomping Ground 2021/22 commission and presented from summer 2022.

CROWD_CTRL is a dance & digital collaboration between choreographer Malick Bright AKA AndroidX and scenographers MHz, building on their previous collaboration on their Cyber punk production KID_X. Afro-street moves collide with tech and visuals!

4 dancers from London’s Dragonsquad busking crew (of Oxford Circus fame) turn their personal history of the Afrobeats movement into a futuristic Odyssey in a high impact dance, sound and visual experience for outdoor settings. 

Featuring a cast of afro-battles dance champions, fresh motion graphics on an LED wall and illustrations by graphic prodigy Wumzum, CROWD_CTRL is a dance & digital exploration styled into a live graphic novel – created by choreographer AndroidX in collaboration with MHz scenography.
