Step into a world where music moves and movement sings. Watch a jazz musician play as if the instrument were an extension of his heart. See a b-boy spin like a needle on a record. And witness a freestyler painting the floor with his ball to the rhythm of live music.

'Jazz’n Motion' is a seamless blend of live jazz, breaking and freestyle football, where sound and movement constantly inspire and amplify each other. Three art forms, three different worlds – yet one shared soul: freedom and expression. On stage, a dynamic dialogue unfolds. Jazz musicians improvise with their instruments, the b-boy uses his body to express, and the freestyler lets the ball speak. Together, they explore how sounds translate into motion, and how motion echoes back into music.
The performance invites the audience to experience how these three distinct worlds become one in Jazz’n Motion. Feel the expression. See the motion. Hear the sound. Improvised. In the moment.
Three worlds. One flow.
'Jazz’n Motion' was developed during ISH Open Nights 2024, as part of ISH Talent.
