Jellyeye
is a troupe of 8 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.
An
evening length Jellyeye performance presents beautiful,
jagged landscapes of shifting sounds and movement, ranging
from the supercharged and explosive, to the surreal,
delicate and lyrical.
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 demographic.
