The American Dance Festival and Nasher Museum co-present Come Jump With Me, a daring, provocative and witty work that examines the relevance and significance of making art in the urgent political reality of Israel. The work serves as a dialogue between the choreographers and Israel, the country where they live. The audience is invited to join the dancers on an emotional roller coaster, from moments that are ecstatic and poetic to moments examining the significance of creating art.

Tickets on sale now at americandancefestival.org.
