Neverafter, an aerial theater fairy tale for grown-ups September 17, 2009

In the premiere of Neverafter, aerial dance company Bow & Sparrow is back with their signature high-flying dance for their 5th home season. But this time they are taking their audience on a fantastical adventure down a rabbit hole to another world where people levitate, everything moves rhythmically, and everyone is simply mad. This evening length urban fairy tale for grown-ups comes complete with a cocktail party, a date gone wrong, and an aerial martini glass. The story follows a modern girl who's too busy to date through a comedic speed-dating mishap and into an alternate dimension where she just might find the time to get swept, literally, off her feet.

Bow & Sparrow specializes in creating an interactive experience for audiences in a social fun setting. They make going to theater cool again, turning their shows into an old school hip style happening. There is a live DJ, performances happening around the room, a dance party afterwards with room in between the works to move around, chat and have enjoy themselves. The show features a new commissioned set designed and painted by L.A. based graffiti artist Hieronymus, the tap styling of rhythm-master Julianne Harper, the acting prowess of Zoe Galvez, the comedic zaniness of Chris Libby, and aerial works along with artistic direction by Kate Law & Alayna Stroud.
