[It] is a search for definition of self, fragmented by memory, buckling events, pushing one under another. Disordering the landscape in other words.&#8221; Poetic in nature, Jump Kiss shifts between seven Plates each broken into pieces of thought\/idea\/and recollection and connected by the return of distant and not so distant memories. And as these plates shift we are moved amongst memories of a family woven together by fragments of life, like a collection of rocks, and torn apart by death, loss of love and a search for self. Glancy&#8217;s play for voices, or &#8220;voice fragments&#8221; as she calls them, slides and buckles amongst the issues of life, colliding between past and present, pain and joy.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p><em>Synopsis written by S.
