LLOYDS 
COMPANY

Rotterdam hiphop and Lloyd Marengo are inextricably linked. After years of working as a dancer, choreographer, and coach, he founded his own organization in 2019.
 

The Lloydscompany Foundation creates dance productions and supports emerging artists, using hip-hop as its point of departure. In doing so, we bridge theatre and hip-hop and establish it as a fully recognized art form.

THREE LITTLE BIRDS

AN IMAGINARY ADVENTURE

From:

November 2025

KABITENI

This dance and music performance takes you to a Surinamese village, where Georgetina, the “kabiteni”, is at the helm. Her singing and stories, combined with the energetic hip-hop and Surinamese Awasa dance performed by other performers, form the heartbeat of KABITENI. All this against a backdrop of visuals from Suriname and eclectic, warm and rousing music.

To South Africa to discover the collaboration between the Soweto Skeleton Movers and Create4
Lloydscompany is exploring a collaboration with the successful South African Soweto Skeleton Movers and the emerging energetic dance talents of Create4 in South Africa.
Ibrah Silas Jackson is developing further.
Ibrah Silas Jackson and LloydsCompany continue to work together on his development with the support of the Cultural Participation Fund (Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie). Ibrah is a talented young dancer, emerging choreographer, and film director. We have been mentoring Ibrah for a year and a half. LloydsCompany sees Ibrah as a future creator who will contribute greatly to the Dutch arts scene, provided he receives the right tools, knowledge, and guidance to develop. That is why we are pleased to offer Ibrah another mentoring program.
We're coaching new talent again in One Night's Dance.
They have a background in modern dance, hip-hop, popping, electro, and more. Lloydscompany and the Danseateliers are guiding new makers Dorrit Griffioen, Oumar Jalloh, Bo Jacobs, and Anna Raiola through the creation of a new piece in seven weeks. These will premiere in Rotterdam on February 5th.
