DO JUMP! proudly premieres And then... a new work inspired by the paintings of Marc Chagall. This visually stunning work of aerial dance, circus arts, video and live music, draws inspiration from Chagall, taking the audience on a playful journey celebrating life, love, color, shape and spirit. Chagall said, "the dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world." Do Jump! concurs with this belief, striving to inspire people with pedestrian images that evoke memory, illuminate the mysterious, and breakdown barriers to time and place.This show is the 30th new work Robin Lane has created for DO JUMP! After nearly three decades, Do Jump! remains a pioneer in aerial dance, touring throughout North America, including performances on Broadway at the New Victory, at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, and the Performing Arts Center in Cerritos, CA.
If you aren't familiar with Do Jump, they combine dance, acrobatics and trapeze. Cool. But even cooler that it's unpretentious and the prices for performances are affordable.
