Could you please describe "non-traditional." Contorsionism has enormous amounts of tradition in the sense that it is learned from a very early age and usually runs in the family.


I'm not trying to be smart, I'd just like a little clarification.

Guys, this was posted in October for a November 2, 2001 audition by an unregistered user.

I doubt they'll be back to answer.

Etienne,

I spoke to the guy back in November. What he meant by non-traditional meant jugglers and magicians need not apply. I have a friend who is a contortionist and he called the guy and wasn't overly impressed. <img src="graemlins/jester.gif" border="0" alt="[jester]" />

Antigravity inc
Are a new york based high end gymnastic and dance group.
They do stuff with elastic and suspensions and balances and they're members are maxi-buff. They all look like models who are capable additionally of doing rude and energetic things with their limbs.
They have worked major corp gigs and I think a huge TV and film add for some paper copying machine.
A few years back when i started my website (anti-gravity.com.au)
they contacted me and politely informed me that I had chosen a great name for my theatre but that they had chosen theirs first and that I might want to consider changing it before i got any bigger. They were cool about it no threats or anything.
I informed them that i had been signing anti-gravity cheques in my anti-gravity cheque-book since 83 and had worked globaly for many years as 'anti-gravity theatre' I also said that as I worked as a 3 meter tall disgruntled pantomime that the idea of me somehow getting bigger scared me.
I also pointed out that at that our markets were not likely to converge. (although the last two years I've been working the states a bit but still, i can't do the olympics because of drugtesting and my hardcore snowboarding attitude)
Anyway I would suggest the people that they would wish to attract would be high end athletes and performers and that converstions about what constitutes "traditional' would merely be unwanted distractions from their 'core proficiencies' and 'central focuses' and the day to day admin of a smooth well marketed high end bouncing vibrant group of achievers.
(etienne- you don't have the cheekbones for them)

I did a corporate gig in Vegas for these guys last year. In and out, nobody gets hurt. Although I don't believe any of the other cast members were from their house troupe, and one gig only provides a limited experience, I found (New York's) Anti-Gravity to be easy to work with and accessible.

I wouldn't be too put off by the verb-age in their promotion. "High end" or "low end", everybody just wants to be able to work. Go ahead and send in your stuff, because if you don't even try, you most definitely won't get hired.

The Summer 2001 issue of Spectacle, a Qtly Journal of the Circus Arts has a nice article on Crash Test Dummies, a production of AntiGravity.

Photo shows them using Powerskip stilts, with a fellow dong a summersault with them. Not your ordinary stilt performance.

Quoting Christopher Harrison: "'I wanted to create a company for the industrial market that was able to pay me well and allow me to my my artists well which is how I wanted to be treated when I was an artist".

Eventually AntiGravity established itself as the company to go to for the type of spectacles that takes athleticism and artistry and puts them together.'

Subscription $30 yr. Well worth it.

Hope this helps.

Ps took Best in Show at the Manitou Springs Mardi Gras Parade today. In spite of the cold, wind and snow we all had a great time!

I've met Colt from anti gravity a few times over the years in covent garden as he was passing through doing shows.
He's a gentleman in every respect and has a passion for what he's doing, which to me, counts for a lot.
I haven't seen their big shows, but I've seen Colt work, full of big energy.
In my mind he's worth tracking down if you have publicity and a decent show, I'm still working on both(some body once gave me a photo and my brother put it on my web site)

I saw a piece on FoxNews (National US News) last night profiling this group. It was about a 3 or 4 minute feature on a show they were opening up in New York I think.

I was just flipping through channels and heard the words "Anti Gravity Theater."

I saw a lot of trapeeze and hangy-spinny kids of performers dangling from various apparatus. And also some pretty cool powerskip acrobatics with impressive tumbling runs. There was a woman jumping rope on a short unicycle and some bungee work and that thing where a guy flys around on drapes. It reminded me of a cirque du soleil show, but more vegas than circus. It was on stage rather than in a ring. Also, it seemed every performer had a serious gymnastic or dance background. Didn't look like there were any "variety acts" involved.

Interesting.

They do a great show. They have come down and done some things with some of us in the past and I have to say they are all athletes. All of the guys that I have met from anti-gravity have been acrobats and/or gymnasts though. They have a little character acting in some of there shows but it looks like mainly acrobatics.
