Opportunity to take part
in a workshop led by Redo, a first for the North East, and one of the
only workshops of its type in the world.
Hailing
from Holland, 24 year old, Redouan Ait Chitt, better known as Redo, is a professional
break-dancer who teaches, performs, and competes in events all across the
world. He is a member of Funky Dope Manoeuvres and the world renowned ILL-Abilities Crew
ILL-Abilities
consists five of the world’s best break-dancers hailing from
Canada, USA, Chile, and Holland, and most remarkably, each have overcame physical
or learning disabilities. ILL-Abilities use motivational entertainment to
encourage positive self- belief and limitless
possibilities.
The
goal of their crew is to shatter any
misconceptions that society may have on people with disabilities. Together,
they created a global movement by spreading their message: “No Excuses, No Limits”.
Redo
has physical disabilities; he has a shorter
right arm, which lacks an elbow joint and has a total of five fingers. He is
also missing his right hip; has a shorter right leg, and walks with the aid of
a prosthetic.
Despite
these complications, Redo never allowed his situation to hinder his life and
states that,“I never let my situation
take over my life. I took control over my situation.”
Growing
up, Redo did everything a typical child would do and he participated
in many types of sports, events, and activities.
Redo began to learn breakdance when he was 14 years
old and immediately loved this art-form. Despite him initially not being able to
manage all of the steps, through creativity,
determination, and the encouragement of his friends, he was able to create a unique,
powerful and awe-inspiring style of his own.
Today, Redo performs in theatre shows all over the
world, enters competitions, teaches classes, gives workshops and gives
motivational lectures. His ambition is to travel the world and share his story
and hopefully inspire and motivate as many people possible on his journey.
