Efren Pamilacan Jr. is a Melbourne-based artist from internationally renowned Hip Hop dance collective Jigsaw Sneakers. His movement style has been interpreted by Filipino mambabatok artist Whang-Od as "water and strength". His work is diverse in content and form, working collaboratively to create productions for site specific, new-media and stage works. As a result of his longstanding subcultural participation as dancer and dancemaker, he is a strong advocate for cultural development through the Hip-hop dance community in Australia. Recent collaborative works include: City Sessions, Factory Reset, 9DIMES: You + Universe and Cypher Culture.
