8 x 8 Cabaret du Jump
by Jump-Start Performance Company

Aug. 02 - Aug. 09

Jump-Start Performance Co. re-erects the 8-foot cube and fills it with eight 8-

minute performances that feature a square-shaped cornucopia of artists, styles and

themes. 

 

Cabaret du Jump (named by late company member Sterling Houston) is a decades-long Jump-Start tradition. Originally the cabaret was a means for company members to

experiment with performance ideas at artistic retreats, which often led to the

development of full-length productions. Twelve years ago, Jump-Start decided to invite

community artists and audiences to join the company for a Cabaret du Jump presented

on an 8’ x 8’ stage. An open architectural cube now serves as the 8’ X 8’ X 8’ playing

area.

 

Artists for this year’s 8 X 8 include Jules Vaquera, Anthony Garcia, Irene Chavez, Tyler

Cozart, Amalia Ortiz, Paul Harford, La Familia Bernal, Catie Carlisle, Kimberlyn

Montford, y más, más, más!
