“…hopefully it will light something joyous inside for those who watch.” ✨ Soloist & choreographer @jac_long on her work ‘Illuminate’
Coming back to the Wortham stage this fall! Illuminate, by Soloist Jacquelyn Long, examines how some people can inspire themselves, while others find inspiration through connections with others.
💛Divided into three movements and featuring a small ensemble of men and women, Illuminate is brought to life through the brilliant costume design of Holly Hynes, who uses yellow and gray to symbolize the theme of ideas and inspiration.
🎵Set to Oliver Davis’ Frontiers, Concerto for Violin and String Orchestra, Long hopes the piece will “light something joyous inside for those who watch.”
