Something OUTTA Nothing, a playful, site-specific theatre adventure combining Breakin’ with immersive audio storytelling that puts you in the driver’s seat.
Grab a headset and join the journey of three friends as they hit the road in a rush to reach their own show. Once the engine starts expect explosive breakin’ along with high energy hip hop before hitting the breaks for more loose and liquid movement. Along the way, you’ll discover each artist’s individuality through real, relatable stories and personal perspectives.
With Something OUTTA Nothing, O’Driscoll Collective are putting you in control, allowing you to choose between different musical genres through your audio headset, manipulating the music of live theatre. Switch from k-pop to Miles Davis or pure funk to Donald Trump, something for every audience. Which sound suits the story? What music moves you? You decide.
Choreographed by Jamaal O’Driscoll, this piece blends his signature breakin’ style with each performer’s unique movement vocabulary, against conflicting sounds. He’s introduced the use of audio headsets with the ability to flick between channels, so every viewing unlocks a fresh perspective and new experience.
Choose your sound, change your story.
