January Performer Spotlight - Jade Kindar Martin - Sky Walker

This month we focus on a performer who is part performing artist, part daredevil and part athlete, a true triple threat.

Jade Kindar-Martin was raised in Vermont and now resides with his wife and son in France. He began performing on the high wire as a teen with Vermont's own Circus Smirkus which has had world wide acclaim and was the focus of the Disney Channel's Totally Circus television show. After his time performing and coaching at Circus Smirkus, Jade studied the art of sky walking with Rudy Ormansky.

Sky walking is a unique high wire performance in which the high wire is typically more than 50' in the air and at a distance of 50' or more. Many sky walks take place at 100' or more in the air and at distances of 300' or more. Typically sky walks take place between buildings, across rivers or gorges, across stadiums and even between cranes. Heights can surpass 1000 feet and distances approaching a kilometer, only the sky is the limit.

Jade holds two world records one for the longest sky walk by a duo (over the Thames River, London) as well as the longest sky walk (1 kilometer over the Han River, Seoul, South Korea). He has performed all over the world in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America.

Jade gives a little piece of himself to his audience when performing his sky walks, his walks are meant to inspire, give hope and show that nothing is impossible. He carries out each and every walk with his own particular style of grace and dignity. His sky walks have garnered international media attention including Reuters, Associated Press, Sky News, CNN and many more.

In addition to his sky walks, Jade has also performed with Cirque du Soleil as well as made numerous television performances. He has also performed with the Flying Wallendas in their world famous 7 person pyramid, one of the few non-family members to do so. Currently Jade has a television pilot in production documenting his travel and performances.

Sky walks as performed by Jade Kindar-Martin are perfect for festivals, performing arts events, national and patriotic celebrations, New Years eve celebrations, corporate events, city events, anniversary events, centennial celebrations or anywhere where the event producer desires to draw large audience and/or affect the audience in a profound way. Jade's audience in Madrid, Spain was estimated at two million people rivaling Times Square New York on New Years Eve!
