How would you deal with the law of gravity, mediocracy, and winter depression at the same time? You would get a specially designed large bouncy-cushion and begin exploring it. Throw yourself on the side, throw yourself on the head, fall on your ass. Jump alone, jump together. On earth, the way it does in heaven.
Few can avoid smiling when Uppercut Dance Theater jumps, dances and falls on their “AirFloor”. It can handle the weight of three fully grown men, and still make all movement look playfully light. Almost.
For something is doomed to go wrong when the dancers play Simon Says and the earth is poisonous. They jump over, under and into each other. Call them cheering idiots, hoptimists or just someone with their heads in the clouds.
With JUMP, Uppercut Dance Theatre’s artistic director and choreographer Stephanie Thomasen and renowned Israeli choreographer Ofir Yudilevitch escape the stage floor and challenge gravity. From here, the performance is lifted into completely new layers of air – choreographically, visually, and technically. Always with risk as a basic condition. For every jump has the possibility of a fall.
