Transit Trix (TT), a Hip Hop Expressive Arts Organisation driven to promote the positive side of Hip Hop Culture & its Arts. As a collective they have big aspirations to building a positive future for there community through the means of entertainment & education.
As a group Transit Trix strive to educate themselves and others on the history of hip hop & its elements (Emceeing, Graffiti, Dj’ing & B-Boying).
It all started off from Keith Fraser (TT Chairman) starting a class at The Newhampton Arts Centre for a bunch of guys that enjoyed watching him break on his DJ sets at the ‘tube’ (which was a club next door to Revolution in Wolverhampton town). Keith paid for these classes from his own pocket so that the class would run and then asked Money B (Main B-Boy Tutor) who was very much indulged into the dance, if he could come down and share knowledge. As weeks went on to months and then years the crew became larger and much stronger.
At current TT is made up of a committee, Keith Fraser who is the chairman, Darren Fairclough Treasurer and Carol Nedrick Secretary. Money B is the main B-boy tutor alongside Dale, Sketch, Sunny B & Akes that helps as facilitators.
The crew get a lot of support from the families that attend the classes, trainee crew performers & old school breakers from Wolverhampton especially Hanifa Queen UK 1st B-Girl (Previously known as B-Girl Bubbles).
The crew officially started up in the year 2006 with the aid of the Wolverhampton small grant scheme. Unofficially we have been about since 2004 (that is when we started the classes at Newhampton Arts Centre)
Past
We have successfully finished a anti bullying project called The Wake Up project (2008). This involved Poetry, Drama and B-Boying. For more info check out: www.newhamptonarts.co.uk/spotlight.asp
We are currently working on a Dance Exhibition piece for the Wolverhampton's Top Talent Grand Finals and awaiting confirmation to be apart of the Birmingham Arts festival this year.
You will also find us performing at the Wolverhampton City Show plus many other Wolverhampton based community fun days this summer.
Future
TT are actively seeking new crew members that would like to represent Wolverhampton in B-Boying / B-Girling in the UK and Worldwide. This Athletes Art Form is very demanding and we train almost every day, so only the strong and passionate need only apply. If you would like to contact us email us on transit_trix_mail@yahoo.co.uk
Personal Note to all young minds reading
Dreams can come true, but it takes much hard work and effort. Dream big not small though it might seem impossible to reach when thinking about it, just make sure to take that one step at a time through self belief & determination you will get there. Much Love & Peace Money B.
Where did the name come from? Back in summer 2005 the core members at the time were trying to think of a name that represented the different styles, culture and arts that where in the dance crew, but also needed to express a positive movement. So the name transitional trix was shortened to transit trix. Transitional meaning the act of passing from one state or place to the next. We are a crew that never stands still but always moves forward to reaching our goals.
We look forward to the future development and preservation of the arts and culture of Hip Hop.
