Acrobatic Conundrum to Bring LOVE AND GRAVITY to Colorado This Fall

Acrobatic Conundrum is making their way to Colorado for a trio of performances in Denver and Boulder debuting their hit show Love and Gravity.

Acrobatic Conundrum is being hailed by critics as one of the most important artistic voices in the modern circus uprising. Love and Gravity follows a group of circus performers whose abundance of charisma and physical prowess doesn't prepare them for the harrowing effects of love and heartbreak.

The company presents six artists on a minimal stage with little else but their talents and hearts.This evening-length performance features acrobatics, dance, Cyr wheel, storytelling, juggling, and aerial feats. An unforgettable experience, this performance will leave you feeling joyful and awed by the power of human connection.

The cast features Terry Crane, Annika Lundgren, Ty Vennewitz, Melissa Knowles, Xochitl Sosa and Cooper Stanton.

On the artistic team are director Terry Crane, artistic consultant Jaron Hollander, choreographer Katheryn Reed, costume designer Xochitl Sosa, production manager Susie Williams, and stage manager Saar Rombout.

Terry Crane - Artistic Director
Terry surrendered to restless urges that led him to walk calmly away with the circus at the tender age of 20. Since then, his search for movement and performance mentoring has generated a zigzag constellation of off-the-beaten path destinations, taking him to the San Francisco Circus Center, Montreal's National Circus School (of Cirque du Soleil fame), and the Beijing International Acrobatics School. He has now performed in countless countries, on 3 continents, with various groups such as Circus Syzygy, Circus Monti and Teatro ZinZanni. Terry is a longtime practitioner of capoeira, contact improv, hip-hop dance, physical theater, and tree climbing. He infuses his work with these influences as well as his own fiercely unique style.

Susie Williams - Managing Director
Susie is in love with performing arts and is thrilled to have been a performer, director, teacher and producer in both circus and traditional theater. She is a graduate of Northwestern University's theater program and a Fellow in the BAM (Brooklyn Academy Of Music) Professional Development Program.
