He played an important role in establishing the scene in Fredericton, prior to moving to Halifax and now on to Toronto. He's one of the most prolific breakdancers I've ever seen and he's even attended the world B-Boy Summit in California. Recently at the Atlantic street Dance Championships in Halifax he finished first in the 'Footwork and Ground Flava' & 'Power Moves' categories. Congratulations goes out to him for landing a role as an ork in the Lord of the Rings theatre production, which runs for 18 months (I believe) based out of Toronto. It will likely see him travel to Europe. Congrats Graeme, it's much deserved! *************************************** Upcoming shows: ** Antigonish, NS ** Aug 26-28 @ Antigonish, NS Evolve Festival!
