Artists Emily "Lady Em" Culbreath and Joshua "Bboy Supa Josh" Culbreath are Snack Break Movement Arts, a performance duo specializing in event curation and street-dance-inspired performance works made for the concert stage. Respectively, Emily and Josh are rehearsal and assistant artistic directors for the renowned street dance theatre company Rennie Harris Puremovement and recently held positions as adjunct faculty at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, PA. Snack Break's duet entitled "Rock, Paper..." received the award for "Best Duo" at Summer Dance Forever's online theater competition in 2022 and will have been toured twice internationally by the culmination of 2023. Snack Break seeks to pay homage to the integrity of African American vernacular dance forms while also challenging the way audiences consume street dance through the utilization of the concert stage, multi-media, and contemporary movement practices. @snackbreakmovementarts www.snackbreakmovementarts.com
