Urban Scuba
Brian Sanders/JUNK
Dance, 50 minutes
Live Arts Festival

“JUNK gives an aerial floor show that could make your hair stand on end.”
—Dance Magazine

The newest creation from choreographer Brian Sanders uses wild illusions created with movement and fantastical costumes over water. Humor, extreme physicality, and stunning imagination will be at the forefront of this world premiere.

Sanders is a former principal dancer with Momix. His past Live Arts shows have proven immensely popular: Patio Plastico starred plastic water slides, pogo sticks, and lawn furniture; silver painted dancers spun about the air like cogs in a machine in AdShock; and The Gate had naked dancers scaling a 20-foot sculpture. His 2008 Philly Fringe hit Flushdance reinterpreted Flashdance with toilets.

"Sir Isaac Newton's got nothing on the guerilla performers in JUNK. The dancers don't simply defy gravity; they challenge the very construct, through the sort of contorted choreography usually seen in Cirque du Soleil shows." —Andrew Parks, Philadelphia City Paper
