“Everything that we’re looking for on this show just walked onto that stage.” – Howard Stern, America’s Got Talent

Catapult is a shadow-illusion performance company that launched into the limelight and into the homes of millions of people around the world as finalists on America’s Got Talent. Since then they have been busy touring the world with their smash hit show Magic Shadows. Heidi Klum and Howard Stern were two of their very first fans, and now they’ve added many thousands around the globe, transporting audiences into fantastical worlds made simply out of light and the human body! 

Catapult’s shows are an amalgamation of dance, theater, acrobatics, illusion, and storytelling. Their stunning visuals coupled with whimsy, heart, and athleticism create a spellbinding show perfect for all ages. They’ve done music videos for rappers, played for royal families, worked with nonprofits, filmed for HBO, and currently tour all over the globe.  

Catapult’s impact on the audience doesn’t end with their stage show. The company also provides imaginative workshops, residencies, and abbreviated school shows combining art and science for maximum immersion and impact with every community.

Catapult’s creator, Adam Battelstein, has worked as a dancer, actor, choreographer, and writer for the past 25+ years. In addition to a half dozen television commercials, he has appeared on Good Morning America, Late Nite with Conan O Brien, The Ellen Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and the 2007 Academy Awards. Having spent 19 years working for Pilobolus Dance Theater—where he served as a performer, choreographer, Creative Director, and Master Teaching Artist—Battlestein has taught residencies and workshops for Pilobolus all over America.
