Shaquille George

was born and raised in Curaçao and moved to the Netherlands at the age of 18. Them started teaching themselves movement styles with Hip Hop origins and later obtained their BA in Urban Contemporary Dance at the Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten. Here, they learned to mix contemporary dance styles with Hip Hop, which added to their own movement style. After collaborating with various companies and choreographers at home and abroad, Shaquille developed their own movement style called ‘Emotive Flux’. Their creative process involves stacking emotions and tackling topics they feel deserve discussion or exploration, with the aim of promoting dialogue and deeper understanding. Shaquille believes in mixing different dance disciplines loaded with emotional value. Dance is not only an art form, but also a freedom of expression and an outlet for emotions. Them lives and works in Rotterdam.
