TBB Talks to ... Mikey J, Composer & co-founder of Boy Blue

Published on: 18th May, 2019

TBB Talks to Mikey J production composer and co-founder of Boy Blue about its journey, its future and the plans he and production choreographer and co-founder Kenrick 'H20' Sandy OBE have for its future.

After their annual appearance at this year’s Breakin’ Convention (the UK’s biggest celebration of Hip Hop dance and culture) and taking their Olivier Award-winning production Blak Whyte Gray to the Norfolk & Norwich arts festival Boy Blue are setting the benchmark for Hip Hop dance. 

Founded in 2001, Boy Blue create works that challenge common perception whilst delivering a new voice from the streets and clubs that have long inspired a generation. As well as performing across the world, the company’s work has been seen in the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, and their work Emancipation of Expressionism is a set work of AQA GCSE Dance syllabus – the first hip-hop dance theatre piece to be included, which was recently filmed by Danny Boyle and screened on BBC 2.

Your Aunties Could Never

Your Aunties Could Never brings you entertaining no nonsense straight talk from women who aren't afraid to say all the things you wish you could say.

Aunty AK, Aunty Farrah, Aunty Nana, and Aunty Sade are four friends from the UK who have lived life and are well respected in business endeavours and amongst friends and family. Elevating them to Elite Auntie status.

The Aunties have a voice and are not fearful of being heard. Join them as they discuss topical news and politics, comment on popular culture and give advice all from an informed (mature) Black woman's perspective.

Think a daytime chat show but with seasoning, real talk & large amounts of Melanin Magic.
