(MAHWAH, NJ) -- “America’s Got Talent” Season 8 finalist Catapult brings its “Magic Shadows” show to the Berrie Center on Sunday, April 30. There will be two opportunities at 11:00am and 3:00pm to catch this amazing show full of music, dance and shadowy fun for the whole family!
On the surface, Catapult is a shadow dance company, but it also is a theatrical art form that is an amazingly imaginative combination of dance, story-telling, and sculpture. Founded in 2009 by choreographer Adam Battlestein, who has been creative director and master teaching artist for Pilobolus Dance Theatre for 19 years, Catapult rose to fame in the finals on Season 8 of “America’s Got Talent.”
“Magic Shadows” features eight fully-realized stories told through music and shadows and six short shadow dance videos which play between the live dances that are full of humor and emotion. The show is packed with hundreds of shape transformations from a helicopter to a full-size elephant and many more. The dancers move behind a screen to create seemingly impossible dancing shadow silhouettes of shapes from the world around us that will leave the whole family happy and in awe.
Tickets are available for purchase online. The Berrie Center is located at 505 Ramapo Valley Road in Mahwah, New Jersey.
As a community resource, the Berrie Center hosts a range of performances year-round including compelling student theater productions and musical performances as well as countless talented professional musicians, theater groups, and performance artists.
