A sensational show! I respect the right of the other reviewers to have their own take, and I gather that some just didn't get it. I, for one, thought it was the most amazing, wonderful, entertaining, inspired and inspiring show I've seen in a long time. I went because I had seen their previous year's show just by chance on PBS late one night. Couldn't believe my eyes. It was such a rich and satisfying and uplifting experience to behold those two AWESOME dancers and excellent actors. I'll most definitely be back year after year -- they now totally own me as a fan!!! Oh yeah, and any time I go to the Ford, I'm reminded how great is to be alive, especially in LA!!Written on Aug 19 2010

Description
The husband and wife team C. Derrick Jones and Nehara Kalev - the duo known as Catch Me Bird - have transformed the ups and downs of their relationship into an artistic journey which began with their performance wedding The Wedding Journey: Vows in Midair in a ceremony presided over by legendary performance artist Rachel Rosenthal at the Wilshire Ebell Theater in 2004.
Since then, the audience has followed their journey in anniversary performances based on their marriage and the shifting dynamics between public spectacle and personal reality. "Year by year we comment upon the issues relating to marriage and deep intimacy by blurring the boundaries between our offstage and onstage lives," said Derrick.
Iron, the element associated with the sixth marriage anniversary gift, is the inspiration for Catch Me Bird’s newest Reality Performance. "Iron, like 6 years of marriage, is heavy and stable," said Derrick. "It must be heated to brutally high temperatures in order to change into a long-lasting cohesive form," added Nehara.
With IRON, the couple invites the audience to celebrate their anniversary with a performance that explodes the boundaries of art and life as gravity remains the one inescapable force in their relationship. As the couple struggles to find solid ground, the audience is invited to offer input on how to proceed. Through verbal sparring, breathtaking aerial and athletic dance and a refreshing sense of humor, IRON captures the delicate balance of a relationship in an intimate performance laced with dazzling spectacle that will take you into the heart of a marriage that redefines the strength of a union between two equals.
