Conrad Kaczor, known as Icon Sleepytut in the street dance world, is a dancer, filmmaker, photographer, and multidisciplinary artist specializing in the geometric shape-shifting dance style known as Tutting. Revered as one of the most innovative Poppers, Conrad has spent over 20 years developing his craft and inspiring a global community of dancers through movement, storytelling, and visual art. He travels internationally teaching workshops, performing, and sharing his artistic practice with dance communities around the world. His work explores themes of transformation, memory, grief, identity, and the beauty hidden within everyday life. Conrad has been recognized by street dance legend Mr. Wiggles, who named him one of his top ten favorite tutters of all time.

In 2008, Conrad began recording and sharing his dance films online during the early days of YouTube. Self-taught and fascinated by cinematography and editing, he later attended the NW Film Center Film School Program, earning his certification in 2016. His graduation short documentary, We’re From Here, following three Portland dancers, toured the film festival circuit and received two Best Documentary awards. In 2018, his dance film What Is Real? won Best Cinematography at the Portland Dance Film Festival.

Conrad performed for many years with Heidi Duckler Dance, a site-specific dance company based in Los Angeles and the Pacific Northwest, and currently serves on the organization’s board, contributing his artistic perspective and advocacy for the arts.

In 2020, Conrad founded Lone Heron Films, his independent production company. His debut feature-length documentary, Transcend: A Boogie Frantick Story, chronicles the life of world-renowned street dancer Boogie Frantick, tracing his journey from gang violence to international recognition.

As a filmmaker and photographer, Conrad views the world through a different lens—finding meaning and beauty within the mundane. This philosophy drives his ongoing photography project Meaningless Beauty, an in-progress book capturing overlooked moments from travels through places including Japan, Iceland, Paris, Death Valley, and the American Southwest. While dance allows him to express movement and emotion externally, photography offers a quieter, reflective practice rooted in observation and presence.

In 2026, Conrad joined the GlogauAIR Artist Residency and Mentorship Program in Berlin, where he continues developing interdisciplinary work that bridges street dance, film, photography, and contemporary performance.
