World's premier shadow dance company to perform at WKCTC's Clemens Fine Arts Center

Paducah, KY (09/20/2019) — America's Got Talent is one of the most popular shows on television, and one of the most popular acts to appear on the hit show is Catapult. Now Catapult, the world's premier shadow dance company, will perform live at West Kentucky Community and Technical College's Clemens Fine Arts Center September 30 at 7:30 p.m.

The amazing dancers of Catapult have catapulted themselves to fame by transforming themselves into one impossible shadow shape after another, and the company now has fans across the world, including AGT's Heidi Klum. "There is no other act like them. I think they are very unique; they're very special," Klum said when Catapult performed on the show.

Catapult's additional television and film credits include several films for internet and appearances by the company's director, Adam Battelstein, on Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show and the 2007 Academy Awards. The company has performed for the royal family in Saudi Arabia and for audiences in Geneva, Stockholm, Lagos Nigeria, Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, Vienna and more. North America has become a hot spot for Catapult and 2019-2020 will represent the company's third year of touring throughout the United States and Canada. Many major corporations have hired Catapult to represent their brand and tell their story including Bridgestone Tires, Girl Scouts USA, John Deere Tractor, Project Hope, YMCA, Pfizer Pharmaceutical, and many others.

"Critics called Catapult, 'a breath-taking show for the whole family,'" said Todd Birdsong, Clemens Fine Arts Center director. "This show will mesmerize audience members of all ages, giving them an unforgettable experience of magic and dance shadow illusions that only Catapult can deliver."
