dip celebrates how humans find each other in a world of increasing isolation.

Jonah, Oliver and Max cross paths and decide to embark on a quest to know and learn about each other, what challenges them and what brings them together. By doing so they will give a new life to everyday objects and use conventional instruments in unusual ways.

Expect light-hearted, breath-taking, air-twisting tricks and funky tunes. With a good dose of humour and a poetic touch, ‘dip’ interrogates relationships in society today and explores themes of cooperation, acceptance and serendipity.

dip , combines high skilled trampoline acrobatics and live music (brass, electronic and percussion instruments) dip is inspired by how we find each other, objects we find daily and how we can make creative and fun use of waste, as well as interrogating relationships in a society of over-consumption.
