Maya Masse aka Babygirl Wrestler aka Feelingz, is a contemporary dancer and choreographer, krump performer and fasciatherapy practitioner. She studied dance at the CNSMD in Lyon in 2011 and fascia therapy at Body-Mind Academy, graduating in 2024 with a diploma in perceptive pedagogy and fascia release. She has performed in creations by Akram Khan, Raphaelle Boitel, Karim Bel Kacem & Maud Blandel, Liz Santoro & Pierre Godard, Emilie Pitoiset, Cindy Van Acker, Christian Rizzo, Maud Blandel and Gisèle Vienne. She began krumping in 2021 and met Wrestler, who was to become her mentor: she took the name of BabygirlWrestler then. Bullet time was her first piece, co-signed with Wrestler, Louis Schild, Caty Olive, and the first creation of the krasse project, a research and creation project where krump, Body-Mind Centering and fascia therapy practices meet revolutionary decolonial feminist thought and action movements, in order to imagine together, from our bodies, a different, better future. She is collaborating again with Wrestler for their next krump piece: Hype Is Murda, HIM.
Dancer, choreographer, event organizer and activist Julien “Wrestler” Adjovi is a key figure in French krump. He has been an activist in his discipline – krump, a powerful and lively urban dance – for over 16 years. Adjovi started out in 2009, after seeing the film steppin, and quickly launched his career. In 2017, he created his own structure and organized the event Krumpfest. Adjovi’s krump style oscillates between fluidity and power, resulting in an unpredictable versatility he calls “heavy fluidity”. The name “Wrestler” is directly inspired by the WWE wrestling universe, the art of combat and the notion of resilience to fight and overcome obstacles. Wrestler is the choreographer and performer of the piece Feelz, a solo he created in 2024. He is co-choreographer of bullet time, created in 2024, and Hype Is Murda, which is scheduled to premiere in 2026.

Since 2017, Vincent Dupuy has been a dancer-performer with choreographer Hervé Robbe, as well as Catherine Legrand for the reprise of Dominique Bagouet’s So Schnell, Pauline Bayard, and Hélène Rocheleau in the solo Fuglane and finally Gisèle Vienne in Crowd and Kindertotenlieder. He founded the Atlas company in 2021 to map out his research into the body and perception. He created his first piece, Infra (2024), which received the Beaumarchais-SACD dance composition grant. He qualified as a Somatic Movement Educator in Body-Mind Centering in 2024.

Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise Body-Mind Centering.
Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise Body-Mind Centering is not a method, but a meeting point. A human encounter between four dancers and choreographers, their singular practices – krump BMC® Fasciatherapy – the links and bridges forged between them through discussion and experimentation. Krump and somatic practices may seem far apart in their energy, rhythms, their history and socio-cultural origins, but they meet to question and enrich each other. “Krump is spiritual, krump is a tool, krump is therapy, krump is an escape, krump is a weapon and it’s a weapon that helps us break down all the barriers that hold us back in life. “Lil C (one of the five creators of krump in Los Angeles).
