‘Innovative, fun and real talent.’
‘Dynamic, encouraging and brave.’
‘Fun, experimental and inclusive.’—audience responses
demi-DEMO parachutes into your space with a team of champion skaters, BMXers, parkourists and dancers. With freakish skills and the danger level amped up, the speed of wheels vs. the vulnerability of bodies on foot, demi-DEMO is tightly choreographed within a compact set up of portable ramps. This highly mobile performance can be situated on any suitable surface.
demi-DEMO is a 13 minute performance followed by 30-minute workshops with the performers. The audience will experience the artistry of a choreographed street-style performance and then has the opportunity to meet the artists and participate in a workshop with them. The team from demi-DEMO will lead techniques in skateboarding, BMX, parkour/free-running, and dance. Ages 6+ and beginners to intermediates are welcomed.
Instructors were friendly and knowledgeable, they really assisted my kids with the basics and instilled confidence and curiosity.’
