The finalists from America’s Got Talent Season 12 are coming to H-Town and stopping by Houston Life to catch up with Courtney and Derrick on their latest venture to help former servicemen and servicewomen.
As seen on their amazing run with AGT, they fuse dance, acrobatics, and HUGE moving set pieces. They’ll be performing Signs of Strength here in the H, an amazing and unique piece done in collaboration with the DIAVOLO Veteran’s Project.
The DIAVOLO Veterans Project uses the company’s style of movement as a tool to help restore veterans’ physical, mental, and emotional strengths through workshops and public performances in communities around the country.
On October 14th and 15th, they’ll perform their signature masterpieces, Trajectoire and S.O.S Signs of Strength, at Jones Hall in Houston.
These performances are the culmination of six years of work through the DIAVOLO Veteran’s Project. The action-packed performance will include reflections on their service, their motives for enlisting, and their experience in deployment.
Also, during Friday’s performance, DIAVOLO’s Artistic Director Jacques Heim will be presented with the U.S. Army’s Meritorious Civilian Service Medal, one of the nation’s highest military honors, bestowed upon civilian leaders for exemplary work in service to the U.S. Army.
Along with Jacques Heim, performers Anthony Todd Simpson, Valentina Cahill, and Micah Lagunas exclusively chatted with Courtney and Derrick to give YOU more information about their amazing cause and performances coming this weekend.
