Entusiasmo!

Do Jump!
May 17 - 31, 2008

Summary:

Entusiasmo! uses a provocative blend of sensuous aerial dance, breathtaking acrobatics, humor, and live music, along with a traditional dramatic narrative, to tell the incredible and inspiring true story of Gaviotas. The performance gradually turns a barren stage into a paradise filled with wonder and delight. In English and Spanish.

“and then …”

Do Jump!
May 5, 2006; closes May 21, 2006

Pretty theatrics dressed up competitive gymnastics. What started was good, but wanted more of it (not just length, but depth, too). Leisurely pace; lots of spinning, move-and-pose combinations. Strength found in immediacy, but such close-up work doesn’t forgive lack of precision, weightlessness that turns sport into magic. Excellent live music.
