Thump City Jump BUZZ
THUMP CITY JUMP has been in our repertoire for 5 years and appeals
to all ages for its physical comedy, use of rhythm and sheer actor
energy. Office workers, street cleaners, tourists, shopkeepers and
motorists all feature in this day in the life of a city. The show
starts with a short lesson in the several signs used in the play,
then opens with a signed song. The day begins in earnest with people
waking up and rushing to get to work, riding elevators, coping with
photocopiers, having lunch and going to the gym. Throughout the
show, interaction with the audience adds to the fun.
People have communicated in amazing ways through history. The cavemen
and women drew pictures to explain, court jesters made kings laugh
using their bodies, Indians used smoke, the Kalahari bushmen use
a clicking language and ships used semaphore...Can you imagine what
sort of conversation was happening on the bridge of the Titanic
when the iceberg hit? The actors of ATOD can, and they show you
what might have happened. There is communication. And then there's
miscommunication.
