The company’s work features contemporary interpretations of modern dance pioneer Loie Fuller with hypnotic fabric-and-light displays combined with circus arts making for a breathtaking and sensuous experience for the audience.

Boston based Luminarium Dance, which has its roots in the Five Colleges Area Dance program, opens this evening’s concert. The company fuses innovative lighting with diverse movement styles. An ideal complement to the visual work of Time Lapse Dance.
I was escorted by my 8 year old grand-daughter who is studying dance and said she enjoyed her first UMASS lecture and was mesmerized by both dance programs. I believe she will keep Loie Fuller’s dream alive for another generation to enjoy.
