Artiste: Jacob Jonas The Company

Jacob Jonas has taken the raw intensity of his dancers' best gifts and molded them into a figurative narrative. Ironically, the powerful qualities that Tim Hecker brought to On Me were not evident in his own performance.

At the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, Jonas proved that he is an emerging artistic force nationally, and Los Angeles should be proud that he has chosen to base his company here.
