FEATURED VIDEO: Impermanence (2009)
UPCOMING PERFORMANCES
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

Devotion is a new site-specific aerial dance dedicated to the waters of the Earth, featuring dancers suspended over the water with harnesses and bungees. Since 2006 Blue Lapis Light has transformed prominent and historic buildings in downtown Austin into uplifting works of beauty.
Devotion follows the ongoing mission of Blue Lapis Light to create original, transcendent works that become visual moving prayers for the planet. Gravity defying dancers touch the soul, creating beauty, wonder and possibility. These site-performances bring focus to a location, its history, its community and its architecture. Blue Lapis Light's aerial works are etched in the memories of demolished buildings, on downtown structures, and in the audiences who have witnessed these performances.
Tickets are available online, over the phone at 474.5664 or in person at the Long Center Ticket Office.
