And here's what others have had to say about our work...
Fuzion Dance Artists ~ Hello Dali!
Lighting Design ~ Salvadore Dali Museum
Excerpt ~ St. Petersburg Times by John Fleming ~ 23 Jun.'2010 ~ Full Article)
"The performance drew a standing-room-only crowd of 145 in a small back room of the museum normally used for lectures and the occasional chamber music concert. Though far from ideal for dance, the carpeted space was resourcefully set up for the piece, with white fabric draped on the walls and Celeste Silsby's moody lighting. The 10 barefoot dancers zoomed around and through the audience as they entered and exited the narrow performance area."
Gem of the Ocean ~ dir. by Bob Devin Jones
Lighting Design ~ American Stage
Excerpt ~ St. Petersburg Times by John Fleming ~ 11 Sep.'2007 ~ Full Article)
"Daringly, the central episode of Gem of the Ocean is a ceremony in the second act in which Citizen Barlow ... seeks to be cleansed by Aunt Ester. She makes a paper boat from her slave's bill of sale (the boat is a slave trader's vessel called Gem of the Ocean) and transports the young man to the City of Bones, the legendary underwater home of drowned slaves. This sort of magical realism would seem almost impossible to bring off onstage, yet it works and is a powerful theatrical moment. ... Celeste N. Silsby's lighting is beautifully evocative in the greenish blue, then smoky golden atmosphere of the seance that leads to the City of Bones."
