洛伦佐·“雷尼”·哈里斯是嘻哈音乐的主要大使. 哈里斯在嘻哈文化中长大，并沉浸在其所有形式的音乐中, 跳舞, 语言. 在他的整个职业生涯中，他接受了这种文化，并试图尊重它的遗产. He believes Hip-hop and Street 跳舞 is the purest form of movement in that it honors both its heritage from African and African American-Latino culture. 他的一生都致力于将街舞和街舞带给所有人. 哈里斯的艺术哲学反映了一种超越种族的对人的更深层次的理解, 宗教, and economic boundaries. He believes that Hip-hop, because of its cross-racial and transnational popularity, can help bridge these divisions. 哈里斯的作品包含了过去多样而丰富的传统, while simultaneously presenting the voice of a new generation through its ever-evolving interpretations of 跳舞.
Harris is well versed in the vernacular of what he calls Hip-hop “proper” as well as the various techniques of B-boy (often mistakenly called “breakdancing”), 房子, GQ和其他从城市中自发产生的风格, 比如他成长的北费城社区. Noted for coining the term “Street 跳舞 Theater,哈里斯把“社交”舞蹈带到了“音乐会”的舞台上, 创造一种有凝聚力的舞蹈风格，在剧院里找到令人信服的声音. 他是“街头”起源在任何舞蹈风格中的重要性的有力代言人. Intrigued by the universality of Hip-hop, he seeks inspiration from other forms and performance art. Harris has developed works that challenge his audiences’ expectations about Hip-hop and street 跳舞. Much of Harris’s work has explored his personal experiences as an African- American male growing up in North Philadelphia. 然而, Harris returns here to the ideas of “Puremovement” and seeks to challenge those who see Hip-hop/Street 跳舞 as a purely male form of expression.
Harris is also the founder of the annual street festival Illadelph Legends which he started in 1997/98. 此后的每一年, guest 艺术家s and students have been coming from around the world to Philadelphia for a weekend of classes, 讲座示威, 小组讨论, 果酱会议, 和表演. 嘉宾艺术家和老师是嘻哈和街舞领域的开创性表演者. 最初的老师包括坎贝尔锁的创造者, Don “Campbell Lock” Campbell, the creator of Fresno Boogaloo & 出现, 布加洛舞山姆, and his group the Electric Boogaloos, and B-boy pioneers Crazy Legs of the infamous Rock Steady Crew and Lil Lep of 纽约 City Breakers, 仅举几个例子.
