Besides his musical pursuits he has been breaking for over 14 years and is an acclaimed B-Boy, his crew "Flipside Kings" have traveled in and out the country competing in, judging, and winning various events in places such as France, South America, Holland, Canada, the U.K. and Asia. Rudi is also a member of "D-Projects," a collective of culturally trained artist creating provocative contemporary performance and currently touring with their latest piece "Scratch & Burn," a "peace ritual" that begs the question "when is war not the answer?"

Rudi is also a recipient of the "Future Aesthetics Artist Regrant" (FAAR) funded by the "Ford Foundation" in conjunction with the "Future Aesthetics Cohort", and has now spent the last 5 years fueling his new found passion for theater/performance art and new creative expressions, while working to bring it to a broader audience.

thanks! I enjoyed much your Saturday performance. You encapsulated skitzophrenia with eloquent wordsmanship, and with clarity exemplified the human slave condition while revealing the true artistic and limitless potentiality of man. Too bad we couldn't hang afterwards, but glad to witness your artistic progression. Be well and prosper much!
