Last April, Jerry had the honor to meet with legendary theatre director Eugenio Barba. Also in presence was Julia Varley from Odin Theatre and one of Taiwan’s most respected theatre directors, Stan Lai. Intrigued by the theatrical and dramatic use of acrobatics in performance, Mr.Barba generously offered to introduce Snell’s work to Denmark, as well as inviting Mr.Lai for a future collaboration with Odin Theatre’s bi annual festival.

Contacts are underway for new events/ creations and touring with Jerry Snell Industries in Japan, Korea, Canada, USA, and Singapore. The web page will be up- dated soon with new dates as the confirmations come in, for now here are a few...
