[Music]
my goodness they are unbelievably
talented in here with all the details of
the production opus cactus is moment
answer Jennifer she ship port Tisch
along with Jason Williams welcome to the
show hi guys it was unbelievable what we
just saw so that was you guys on stage
with I mean what what I mean for people
at home that don't know what this
production is all about Jennifer walk us
through this because it seems like we're
seeing sort of this illusion on stage
yeah that's what the company is about
it's a modern dance dance theater dance
illusionist we all have different
backgrounds but we want to create
illusions we want to create images and
unique movements and surprise the
audience every time we're on stage
that's what we want to do and Jennifer
you were born in Bordeaux France you
joined mo mix in 2007 talk to us a
little bit about the diversity of the
dancers here on stage because we've
we've talked a lot of times about how
the arts is really made better and more
robust when we bring a collection of
experiences and perspectives to the
stage and I think mommy is a great
example of that because we do all come
from a different background I would say
that all of us have a ballet background
lines coordination musicality are very
important qualities that Monique's is
looking for in its dancers and we also
have people who are coming from they
have different skills that could have
circusy skills that can be hip-hop they
can be a more musical theater so we
bring all of this together and we create
moments it's so intense was that video
of you Jason that was so I mean I was
just enthralled with that video you
began your dancing career at 16 the
proficient in all different kinds of
dances at all different types of dance
unbelievable I mean this is practice not
easy to learn yeah I was a bit it was
very challenging and it not only
physically but mentally because it's
this what you're seeing now is
like it's a trio it's not just a duet
between me and the girl the prop is part
of the illusion I never make and the
illusion I'm glad you said that because
that is the video that we just saw you
make it look easy and I think for people
seated in the audience what they see on
stage looks so graceful and just sort of
I don't know so perfect yeah but it's a
really intense workout so yeah and we
all we all come from different
backgrounds and we all cross train and
go to the gym or we have people that do
yoga and different things to keep like
the body healthy but we want to make it
look easy and yeah I mean that's the
magic onstage fantastic we want to bring
you into like our own world and have you
experienced that from the stage and well
done I can only imagine what that's like
in person just seeing the video because
I feel transformed already and you guys
