Joli Vyann

Using acrobatics and dance to explore our relationship with technology.

Ex-stuntman Jan Patzke and ex-gymnast Olivia Quayle are Joli Vyann. This dynamic duo use exciting hand-to-hand acrobatics and dance to explore contemporary issues. See Jan throw Olivia into the air with ease and Olivia perform balances which seem gravity defying. Joli Vyann have created Imbalance with internationally acclaimed choreographer Jonathan Lunn.

Imbalance explores our obsessive dependence with technology, asking whether our lives are ‘in’ or ‘out’ of balance? It is rare nowadays not to ‘log in’ at every opportunity – the breakfast table, nights out with friends, even in bed! How well connected are you? When and how do we separate ourselves from the virtual chaos surrounding us?
