galumphaThey’ve performed for audiences around the world and now the internationally known dance sensation, Galumpha returns to The State Theatre of Ithaca on Saturday, February 15 at 3:00 p.m.  This show is the next installment of the CFCU Community Credit Union and Gateway Commons State Series and is scheduled during Ithaca Loves Teachers Week and The Great Downtown Ithaca Chili Cook Off. 

Galumpha combines acrobatics, visual effects, physical comedy and inventive choreography for their performances.  The troupe is a triumphant mix of art and entertainment, offering world-class, award winning choreography (Edinburgh Festival Critics' Choice Award, Moers International Comedy Arts Prize) that is equally at home on the concert stage, at a comedy club or at an outdoor festival.

The State Theatre is also partnering with IPEI and the Fine Arts Booster Group to bring Galumpha Dance Company to Ithaca High School (I.H.S.).   Galumpha Artistic Director Andy Horowitz will lead a dance workshop with the I.H.S. Modern Dance class on Friday, February 14.  Horowitz will work with Haley Noel’s students to share Galumpha’s approach to dance.
Galumpha brings to life a world of imagination, beauty, muscle and merriment.

The three performers create a sensory feast of images ranging from the ridiculous to the sublime, drawn together into a seamless whole, consistently bringing audiences to their feet.
For this event the State Theatre is working with presenting sponsors, the Ithaca Public Education Initiative (IPEI), Ancient Wisdom Productions, Northeast Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and GreenStar Natural Foods Market.
