DROP ME IF YOU DARE

Under the Artistic Direction of Oliva Quayle and Jan Patzke, Joli Vyann presents an innovative fusion of daring acrobatics and beautifully articulated, communicative dance, drawing in audiences through stories which fire the imagination. The work is athletic, technical, exciting, emotive and relevant.

Joli Vyann’s incredible duet , Drop Me If You Dare, is about the connection between two people, exploring the elements of strength and submission, weakness and control within their relationship. An exciting mix of dance and partner acrobatics, this show has become a classic, enthralling audiences of all ages and touring all over the world. 

Originally Commissioned by Without Walls, Out There International Festival of Circus & Street Arts and Winchester Hat Fair. Co-commissioned by Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival and Bristol Harbour Festival.
