Dancer with trampoline and stairs. A quick diversion.

Dancer Yoann Bourgeois creates the impression of floating using a staircase and trampoline. Video is a minute and a half long.



Yoann Bourgeois is a French dancer, choreographer, and artist. He trained in circus arts at Châlons-en-Champagne. He directed the Compagnie Yoann Bourgeois touring dancing troupe. The New Yorker described him as a "nouveau-cirque acrobat" and "droll, slapstick comedian," and Wesley Morris, in the New York Times, called him a "dramatist of physics".

He doesn't; but the illusion off doing so is great.
