Ghandi Robin, from Dominica, and four Caribbean dancers from St Lucia, St Vincent, Grenada and Dominican Republic will be a part of a new creation entitled “ABSTRACTION” by the renowned French Hip-Hop choreographer, David Milome.

This creation will take place in Martinique from the 25th of April to the 1st of June, and will be followed by a Premiere at the prestigious “Atrium” theater in FORT-DE-FRANCE on the 30th of May.

Abstraction is the 6th creation of Milome and focuses on the observation of society’s issues (revolution, doubts, questions, stereotypes…).

The project is organized and sponsored by: Version Hip-hop, MD Company The DAC Martinique, EPCC Atrium, The Alliance francaise Network and the Alliance française of Dominica.

Apart from these productions, David Milome has proved his passion to pass on the Hip Hop dance form through his projects, especially towards young dancers from various Caribbean islands.

In continued commitment to the youth development, since 2012, several Dominican dancers have received the opportunity to participate in dance activities & international festivals in Guadeloupe & Martinique. Last year, within the context of DomFesta, Alliance française invited David Milôme for a unique week of dance activities.

Ghandi Robin is Dominican Hip-hop aficionado who has evolved over the years.

In addition to teaching Breakdancing he has been perfecting his craft through various training abroad sponsored by the Alliance française:
– Breakdancing battle in Guadeloupe in 2012 (Hip-hop session),
– Caraip’hop festival in Martinique in 2013.

During Caraip’hop, he was first scouted by David Milome.

In May 2014, Ghandi got the opportunity to open for David Milome’s performance “Hurlant Corps” in Dominica.
