Blue Lapis Light's Impermanence was included in two Top 9 lists in the Austin Chronicle:
#1 on the Top 9 Lasting Impressions in Dance From 2009 - "Four stories up, seemingly lit by phosphorescence against the infinity of night, harnessed dancers floated through perpendicular somersaults like rotating stars. Spectacle, yes, but the pinnacle of spectacle: the creation of an engrossing otherworld."
#6 on the Top 9 Dance and Classical Music Treasures of 2009 - "In sending more aerial dancers skyward than ever before and having more of them partner together, choreographer Sally Jacques created new wonders in the heavens, airborne duets that intertwined mortality and infinity."
Sally Jacques is featured in the recently released book Site Dance: Choreographers and the Lure of Alternative Spaces
JULIE KATHLEEN HOLCOMB did not discover the wonders of dance until her second semester of college. Once exposed to the art, she could not get enough. From that point on she has worked hard to develop the craft and skills of a dancer. She was a company member of Collin Dance Ensemble, where she attributes her initial discovery and growth of dance. She delved into different forms by studying modern, jazz, ballet, contemporary, African, and ballroom. She studied under Enrique Juarez as she competed with her ballroom experience in the Dallas competition, winning first place in both her categories of salsa and the waltz. Julie graduated Suma Cum Laude with a bachelor of fine arts in dance performance from Sam Houston State University in 2008. She received the opportunity to experience American College Dance Festival in 2007 and 2009, where she performed in the gala concert in 2009 under the direction of Andy Noble. She now teaches in the Austin area and is absolutely grateful and thrilled to be a part of Blue Lapis Light, discovering another wondrous form of dance. Her most recent performance with Blue Lapis Light was Impermanence.
