Just in time for the Family Day long weekend, iLumiDance is planning to light up Venables Theatre in Oliver on Feb. 16 at 6:30 p.m.
In this interactive performance, audience members get to see three dances featuring electronic costumes, props and puppets. The light wire technology not only enchants students with professional dance, it gets them excited about the “technology” component of STEM learning.
The dance artists reveal how they use the STEM engineering design process to create innovative new technologies in dance art, such as wearable electronic costumes and electronic puppets.
Audience members participate in demonstrations of how engineering design and coding are used to create dances, and selected students are invited up to create their own “ilumidance” with a five-foot-tall light wire puppet.
Tickets are only $10 and can be found at venablestheatre.ca.
