Jonathan Nosan has created a unique life as a performing artist based in New York City of performing and teaching. Recently back from a two year international tour with the spiegeltent circus theater show LIMBO, he balances corporate productions with his company Acroback and art performances with his avant garde show Bagabones. His film work includes stunt doubling Jim Carrey in How the Grinch Stole Christmas as well as Cirque du Freak, The Bounty, Big Fish, and The Cell. His commercial work has taken him to contort in South Africa for an Arabian tea company, run nearly nude for Mercedes in Tokyo, and contort on top of buildings in LA for Hagaar. Stage credits include twisting and moving in monodramas at Lincoln Center, perched as Prometheus unbound at La Mama and two years with Twyla Tharp in her musical The Times they are a Changin’. His contorted print work includes: W, Men’s Health, Esquire, Esquire Thailand, Business Week and New York Magazine.
In 2002 Jonathan spent one year creating Mirror Man—5,000 glass mirrors seamlessly mosaic tiled into a Performance Art piece which has traveled the globe for clients including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Lady Gaga, Takashi Murakami, and the NY Festival of Light.
