Flying Foot Forum: The Percussion Project

There's something unworldly in the rapidity and coordination of Flying Foot Forum -- can people really dance that fast, speak that quickly, collaborate that seamlessly? It would seem so, if only when this percussive dance group performs, usually to live music they produce simultaneously. And yet, the whirlwind of hands, feet and song is second to the cyclone of characters that blows across the stage, including crazy chefs, madcap vaudevillians, tricky baseball umpires and even poetry-reciting Victorians. While the phrase "swept away" is cliched, you'll be hard-pressed to find another way to describe the unusual pull this creative vortex exerts on the audience. So surrender yourself to collaborators Joe Chvala, Mary Ellen Childs, Karla Grotting and Peter O'Gorman and their brain-dizzying, truly breathtaking show, Flying Foot Forum: The Percussion Project.
