The Fruit of Risk and Relationship: Candid Moments with Danielle Agami and Jacob Jonas

“All that is important is this one moment in movement. Make the moment important, vital, and worth living. Do not let it slip away unnoticed and unused.” — Martha Graham

When I think about these two exemplary artists and their impactful companies, I think of the times I’ve experienced their work and how each moment was important. Based in Los Angeles and Europe, but global in their influence, I am thrilled to be joined by two of Los Angeles’ most dynamic artistic forces—Danielle Agami, visionary founder of ate9, and Jacob Jonas, groundbreaking choreographer and founder of Jacob Jonas The Company .Together, they’ve converged their creative energies for FOG, a spellbinding evening of dance and live music at Culver City’s Kirk Douglas Theatre. Get ready to step inside the minds behind two world premieres: Danielle Agami’s “Soon After” and Jacob Jonas’ “Grip”—each blending raw movement, live music, and emotional storytelling in ways you’ve never seen before. From the evocative soundscapes of Yuka Honda and Live Footage to new collaborations that push the art form forward, FOG promises a night of mystery, revelation, and transformation. FOG runs for two nights only: August 29 and 30. Tickets start at $55; VIP access is available for $75.
