LEGGYBONES
ABOUT
*music by Zebedee Row and Marco Sanchez
CASEY BRONWYN HOWES & JACOB MICHAEL WARREN are the founders and co-directors of LEGGYBONES, a Brooklyn-based physical theater duo creating bold, cinematic work rooted in acrobatic partnering and visual storytelling.
Born into a distinguished family of LA surf bums, CASEY BRONWYN HOWES forsook her sunshine and freckled destiny for a life of sweat, criticism, and pliés. After graduating from SUNY Purchase, Casey moved to Brooklyn and joined Pilobolus Dance Theater, where she learned how to tell a story, harness the forces of light and shadow, and defy gravity. In 2021, Casey helped create and starred in the NYT Critic’s Pick Endure: Run Woman Show, a site-specific roving immersive theater piece in Central Park. Casey is a decorated competitive rock-climber, is almost good at the ancient and risky art of needle felting, and bakes killer lemon squares.
Standing at 6 feet, 7 inches, JACOB MICHAEL WARREN excels at seeing over people’s heads in crowds, and struggles in Economy Class on airplanes. He grew up playing soccer and saxophone, but spent most of his time trying to be a ninja, and really hasn’t let go of any of those influences. He is one half of Leggy Bones Physical Theater, one sixth of the Harmonica Lewinskies, and one whole gentle-giant, despite playing hulking, violent villains on TV the majority of the time. When he’s not teaching, choreographing, or performing, he’s probably shoveling noodles into his mouth, or trying to prove that gravity is a myth and youth is a lifestyle choice.
