Le corps de The Earth Harp repose sur la scène tandis que les cordes parcourent le public, s’étendant jusqu’à 305 mètres de longueur, et attacher à l’arrière de la salle, transformant chaque espace en un instrument. The Earth Harp a valu à William une place de finaliste dans l’émission de télévision America’s Got Talent et a récemment été nommé par le Livre Guinness des records comme l’instrument de musique à cordes jouable le plus long du monde.William a étudié la sculpture et la conception sonore à l’Art Institute of Chicago et son travail explore le lien entre l’architecture et la musique.

La harpe de la terre a été installée dans certaines des destinations les plus emblématiques du monde telles que le Colisée de Rome, le Kennedy Center et le Lincoln Center aux États-Unis, le Seattle Space Needle, les temples du Vietnam, le Grand Theatre of Shanghai International Arts Festival , Le Theatro Municipal du Brésil à São Paulo, The Dhow Harbour au Qatar et les principaux festivals américains comme Coachella, Bumbershoot, Burning Man et Lightning In A Bottle.Close a également créé deux installations permanentes de Earth Harp, l’une dans le cadre du Cirque du Soleil, spectacle «Ka» au MGM Grand de Las Vegas, l’autre dans un théâtre de 1 300 places à bord du navire Quantum of the Seas de Royal Caribbean International.

The body of The Earth Harp rests on the stage while the strings travel over the audience, extending up to 305 meters in length, and attach to the back of the venue, turning every space into an instrument. The Earth Harp earned William a finalist slot on the TV show America’s Got Talent and was recently named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s longest playable stringed musical instrument.

William studied sculpture and sound design at the Art Institute of Chicago and his work explores the connection between architecture and music.

They’ve done it by focusing on three success principles- innovation, collaboration and execution. Those same principles can help any group achieve fantastic results, and there is no better way to bring them these key ideas than through The Passing Zone’s hilarious, energetic, and inspiring keynote.

Looking for something different? You put on a great meeting last time, but now you have to top it. You need something unexpected, unique, fresh, not just the same old speaker, comedian, magician or band.  You found something different!  You found roaring chainsaws, cheering attendees, flaming torches and knives flying through the air! You found an experience. You found a surprise. You found genuine laughter, the kind that makes your face hurt.  You found two grown men who demonstrate partnership by leaping around the stage in fuchsia leotards, with rapid-fire banter, throwing sickles around the body of someone from the audience (or your CEO) as they receive a standing ovation. You found danger (or so it would seem), laughter, and an inspirational experience your people will never forget.

Jon & Owen can provide pure entertainment in an “after dinner’ style setting.  They can also integrate themselves into the core theme of your meeting so that their performance has some take away value.

They are a natural fit for corporate entertainment and keynote speeches are their primary market. Their act is clean, so it offends no one. They appeal to all ages and all walks of life. Whether their audience group are mechanical contractors, software engineers, hairdressers, or billionaire business leaders, they are always a hit. Not only do they entertain, but they customize their performances by juggling a company’s product, incorporating slogans, and inspiring groups to be better teams.

Their corporate career really took off after a national Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) event in Atlanta, which was quickly followed by other MDRTs in Chicago and Singapore. After main stage appearances at Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the National Speaker Association, YPO, ICPA, and others, the industry took notice, and they’ve been off and running ever since. Clients such as eBay, Firestone, Old Navy, Microsoft, IBM, Kodak, and IASB have brought Jon and Owen to their events to liven things up and motivate their people. The London Business Forum recently enlisted The Passing Zone and had one of their highest-rated events ever. Their extraordinary speaking skills earned The Passing Zone the CPAE designation from the National Speakers Association and landed them in the Speaker’s Hall of Fame.

Jon and Owen have published articles on Teamwork, Work-Life Balance, and Taking Risks in countless industry periodicals including Business People, Special Events, Smart Meetings Networking Times, Financial Executives, Successful Meetings, Home Business, and many more. They were chosen as a Best Bet for entertainment by the Wall Street Journal, and Special Events Magazine named them one of the Hottest 26 Speakers.
