Manage episode 431528580 series 3390008
The sport of Breaking is making it's debut at the Paris Olympics in 2024 and tickets to watch the live dance battles have sold unbelievably quickly. In this conversation you’ll hear Australian Breaker Rachael Gunn talk about her journey from a PhD in the cultural politics of Breaking to being among the first to bring the sport to the Olympic stage.
Through her work inside and outside the Breaking cypher (performance circle), Rachael has been a pioneer in the growth of Breaking for women and girls in Australia, after she managing to cut through into the male dominated sport herself.
Rachael has spent years preparing for this moment in Paris, navigating the dynamics of having her husband as her coach and balancing her love of the sport with her work. Rachael shares some excellent tips for the avid Olympic armchair spectator, including what to look out for when you’re watching the breakdancers compete and how to decipher the surprising element of trash talk you’re going to see playing out during each battle at the Games.
