Illuminate – “Weft of the Weave” – an optilay from the Ignition Arts online workshop. Anonymous and fragmented in nature, an optilay is a visual interpretation of a song with choreography, puppetry and/or art that enhances the lyrics and draws on the specific skills of the artists involved. Because of social distancing, the music in this clip was recorded in advance. The optilay was performed live with 4 ensemble members.
Optilogue from Illuminate workshop – “Vida Wakes.” Anonymous in nature, an optilogue is a visual piece that maximizes the medium in which it is presented to create a sense of place, revealing subtext and encouraging the audience to examine the text. This optilogue was performed live in real time with the help of seven ensemble members both on and off camera.
