You Won't Believe Your Eyes When America's Got Talent Finalist, Catapult Comes To The Wheeler!

More than just a shadow dance company, Catapult is a theatrical art form that is an amazingly imaginative combination of dance, story-telling, and sculpture. Your whole family will be astounded when Catapult takes the stage on Sunday, March 3 at 5:30 PM.

Founded in 2009, by Adam Battlestein (choreographer, Creative Director and Master Teaching Artist for Pilobolus Dance Theatre for 19 years), Catapult catapulted to fame on Season 8 of America's Got Talent, earning their way to the finals of the NBC-TV hit show.

Catapult is all about the human body and its ability to transform. The talented Catapult dancers work behind a screen to create seemingly impossible dancing shadow silhouettes of shapes from the world around us. You won't believe your eyes as you watch these incredible dancers become a mountain, a full-size elephant, a helicopter, a house with a window and people inside the window. You will never figure out how they do it, and you won't know what they will make next - you will be surprised and delighted again and again. Audiences of all ages love what appear to be effortless transformations and applaud over and over as more and more unbelievable images appear.

Catapult's "Magic Shadows" show is packed with hundreds of shape transformations, and it is full of humor, emotion, and engaging stories. There are 8 fully realized stories told through music and shadows and 6 short shadow dance videos which play between the live dances - brief moments of poetry or humor which perfectly cleanse the palate and prepare the audience for their next shadow journey. Audiences leave this show dazzled, and they will never look at their own shadow the same way again!
