 Blue Lapis Light presents its latest site-specific aerial dance performance, Illumination, at the Seaholm Power Plant in downtown Austin. Artistic Director and recent Austin Arts Hall of Fame inductee Sally Jacques, along with choreographers/dancers Laura Cannon and Nicole Whiteside, will transform the interior of the historic building to create images of beauty and transcendence. The architecture of Seaholm, reminiscent of a cathedral, inspires the vision for Illumination. The dancers, suspended from ropes and cloth, will soar through the space in graceful athleticism. Highlighting the grand architecture, Illumination will feature lighting by Jason Amato and sound design by William Meadows.

Illumination has been made possible with great assistance from various departments of the City of Austin and Southwest Strategies Group Inc. Following the immense success of the 2006 production of Requiem at the former Intel Building (voted best Dance Performance in the 2006/07 Austin Critics Table Awards), Illumination will again transform an Austin landmark into a powerful work of art.
