Majeko

Majeko is a Sweden-based dance collective made up of core members Kaide Gonzalez, Marcus “Mackie” Larsson and Ida “Inxi” Holmlund. For the Attitudes project, the group is joined by Fredrika “Freddie” Burvall, temporarily replacing Inxi.

Fredrika “Freddie” Burvall is a prominent dancer and choreographer, with house as her primary focus. She studied at Åsa Folk High School and has since created the pieces “Galax” and “Making waves”. Fredrika has participated in “House decoded” by Wesley Rommy, with whom she also collaborates in her latest initiative, SoWePlay, which explores the potential of play as a basis for movement, health and community.

Kaide Gonzalez is a dancer and choreographer specialising in house and hip hop. Having trained at Åsa Folk High School and Amsterdam’s Academy of Theatre and Dance, he has developed the “Leviathan flow” freestyle movement practice, which forms the basis for his own creative dance process. In spring 2024, his work “60 seconds” was presented at Dansens Hus in Stockholm, and he has also performed in works by French dance company Black Sheep and by Dutch choreographer Alesya Dobysh.

Mackie Larsson has spent years immersing himself in hip hop and house dance styles, including through the Five Styles and One Style courses run by Åsa Folk High School. He has been active in competitions and battles, winning Hip Hop Weekend 2vs2 House category, Paris Dance Delight with French dance group Kaynix Supreme, and making it to the final of Japan Dance Delight with the same group.

Iron Skulls

Iron Skulls is a dance collective based in Barcelona, with members from across Spain. The group was born out of the Iron Skull Crew, which has been participating in breaking battles since 2005. The collective was formalised in 2013 and has since developed a distinctive style that blends hip hop, breaking, acrobatics and contemporary dance with influences from the worlds of design, fashion, music and martial arts.

Kaê Brown Carvalho & Jerson Diasonama

Kaê Brown Carvalho has a background in capoeira and contemporary dance, which has led him to develop a unique breaking style. He is one of the founders of the dance crew “Les Ratz” and has collaborated with François Frénétik (Compagnie Primitif), the Zombeavers group and Saïdo Lehlouh, to name just a few.

Jerson Diasonama is a versatile dancer and photographer who combines freestyle and performing arts with his eclectic body language. In 2017, he set up Essens:corp, an experimental laboratory exploring the aesthetics of movement. In 2022, he won the “Danse élargie” (“Extended dance”) competition organised by the Théâtre de la Ville in Paris and the Musée de la danse, in collaboration with the Hermès Corporate Foundation.
