Leap Into Action

E-mail Print

Artist: Attack Theatre

attacktheatre_by_martha_rialThis dynamic performance will inspire students to leap into action as athletic dancers create exciting lifts and leaps using weight, balance, momentum, and even ladders and tables! Students will recognize the different forms of inspiration that provide the impetus for this creation of contemporary dance. The dancers’ camaraderie on stage and relationship with the audience provides a fun-filled, interactive glimpse into the creative process.

Under the artistic direction of Peter Kope and Michele de la Reza, Attack Theatre has been making personal, accessible and collaborative dance-based performances for more than fifteen years that create a physically dynamic environment appropriate for audiences of all ages. They combine modern dance, original live music, multimedia and interdisciplinary art forms to present work in traditional and nontraditional spaces both nationally and internationally.
