THE EXPERIENCE
Pre-film music and performances by Do Jump company members. 

ON SCREEN: That Happened: A Story About Do Jump
2024. Directed by Robin Lane. Runtime: 100 mins

Dubbed as a “theater-circus-danceumentary” by director and Do Jump company founder Robin Lane, That Happened tells the life story of the Portland-based acrobatic, circus, dance troupe from its inception in 1977 through pandemic virtual performances and ultimately ending with a live filming of the troupe to round out the film and evening’s event. 

The film begins with a whirlwind journey through Do Jump live performances from 1977 through 2019. From 2020 to the present, a new element of the company’s life emerged in the form of That Happened, a physical, poignant, and zany multi-genre reflection of the evolving experiences of an ensemble of talented circus performers and musicians during the extraordinary time of the pandemic to present. 

Featuring performers: Nicolo Kehrwald, Patric McGuire, Kailee McMurran, Jack StockLynn, Rhys Thomas, Brittany Walsh, Jacki Ward, and Tia Zapp.
