Main Page Jellyeye is a troupe of 12 performers, rigorously cross-trained in dance and drumming. These two disciplines combine to create an original form of percussive movement in which careful choreography and densely arranged rhythms are presented with a combination of utter precision and abandon. Jellyeye's signature work, the thunderous and complex Blood Lotus, is an intricately structured, intensely visceral drum dance, performed on a unique set of custom-built rolling drums. Jellyeye performance presents beautiful, jagged landscapes of shifting sounds and movement, ranging from the supercharged and explosive, to the surreal, lyrical, delicate and sublime. It is an exciting time to be part of Jellyeye's forward momentum, as the group's groundbreaking work is about to be premiered around the globe.
Plans are now under way for national and international tours, and a special millenium event.
Consistently enthusiastic responses from critics and audiences alike have brought Jellyeye to the verge of international recognition. While the group's eclectic and somewhat indefinable character has earned them a solid reputation as serious artists in the vanguard of contemporary theatre, the visceral charge of a Jellyeye performance attracts loyal audiences from the widest possible demographics. Jellyeye invites you to participate in the growth of a dynamic, young company developing a new performance language in the theatre arts. The audience was packed with people of all ages, colors, and economic backgrounds. The crowd went wild.
