We have until Mon 13th March to raise $6000 to offer Jacob Hunt a performer contract and traineeship in Sydney with Legs On The Wall for his chance to be part of the world premiere of trampoline performance HIGHLY SPRUNG.
Every little donation will get Jacob that much closer to his dream of becoming an artist and athlete of international repute.
ABOUT JACOB:
Jacob a 16yr old young Indigenous man from Brisbane. At his young age he has already competed at national international competition for trampolining, holds the title of Australia's best wall runner. After scouting Jacob in Brisbane, Legs Artistic Director Joshua Thomson invited him down to Sydney for the development of Legs trampoline performance work HIGHLY SPRUNG. It instantly became clear that Jacob's talent needed to be harnessed & nurtured, thus compelling us to offer him a traineeship performer contract.
