CELESTIAL BALLERINA

Holographic Art Grant project, CELESTIAL BALLERINA (2016)

Merging the worlds of Technology, Art and Dance, Celestial Ballerina (2016) redefines the classical ballet and moves the performance off the stage and into a new digital realm.  A glimpse of the future art form of holograms and captivating a larger audience to engage with the power of the ballet performance. 

“Transcend time through movement. Transcend space through holograms – the reality is a projection.” – Lana Briscella.
