Rize, the new David LaChapelle documentary about a South Central, LA dance phenomenon, opens in theatres today.
The film explores the evolution of "Clowning" and "Krumping," two aggressive, athletic styles of dance. "Clowning" was created by Tommy Johnson, aka Tommy the Clown, in response to 1992's Rodney King riots. Since then the dance has developed into "Krumping."
The documentary focuses on South Central teens that use the creative dance as a positive alternative to gangbanging or hustling. Like breakdancing, the kids form crews, practice their skills and have dance battles. They also often paint their faces like warriors when in competition.
Rize's soundtrack features music by Cali emcee and choreographer Flii Stylz, as well as underground fave Planet Asia, London's own Dizee Rascal, and Pop queen Christina Aguilera. The CD, which is in stores now, comes with an enhanced "How to Krump" instructional video.
Rize is LaChapelle's feature film debut. He is best known for his colorful work as a celebrity photographer (Details, Vogue, Vanity Fair, etc) and directing music videos for such artists as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, and Gwen Stefani.
Rize opens in limited locations today and will expand to more theaters July 1st. |
