‘Diavolo’ - architecture in motion will be in JAX

Fresh from its recent success as a top 10 finalists on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Diavolo will be bringing its acrobatics and architectural artistry to Thrasher-Horne Center this fall.  The national tour will stop in Orange Park.

Diavolo uses dance to explore the relationship between the human body and its architectural environment.  Artistic Director Jacques Heim steers Diavolo’s diverse team of dancers, designers, choreographers and engineers to create visceral and awe-inspiring works that reveal how we are affected emotionally, physically and socially by the spaces we inhabit.

Meticulously designed architectural structures serve as the central inspiration for each work, activated by the stylistically varied and intensely physical choreography which has become the hallmark of this truly original company throughout its rich 25-year history.  Through The Diavolo Institute the company also provides educational and outreach opportunities to people of all ages and abilities while touring and at home in Los Angeles, sharing the pioneering art form and the power of dance as a means of social impact.
