Lelavision...Harvesting LIght
Lelavision bring sound and light to stage
Esoteric in concept and beautiful to behold, VAA's first New Works Series 2012 presents Lelavision's latest endeavor "Harvesting Light." A musical-sculpture installation and performance event, Ela Lamblin and Leah Mann perform Harvesting Light with Island guest artists Jason Staczek (composer), Lynelle Sjoberg and Abby Enson (dancers. Two performances offer an earlier, abbreviated kid-friendly interactive performance, followed by a more sophisticated full length show.
Harvesting Light centers on a large scale electro-acoustic instrument, the Photosynthesizer. Featuring 24 blown glass resonators, Lamblin created the instrument while in residence at Tacoma's Museum of Glass. A spectacle in itself, the electronically activated acoustic instrument plays like a glass organ; each resonator has an attached speaker with an arched centerpiece.
Choreographer Leah Mann will combine movement with Lamblin's musical sculptures to create a multi-sensory unified experience of kinetic, aural and visual art forms.
Inspired by ideas about light--the sun as energy source, hidden potential of photosynthesis and light within or illumination of soul, "Harvesting" seeks to de-light, shed light and celebrate return of light in a danciful, musical, sculptural performance experience. "It's about community rituals; we create a little world, a particular ambience," says Mann.
Lamblin, who studied sculpture in college, says his sculpture escaped confines of galleries and museums. "Sculpture is something to breathe life into, to give a voice in song. My building blocks are sculptural form and space, sound and music, and kinetic, exhilarating movement. My ideas revolve around fusing these elements together, with Lelavision as their vessel for expression."
Lelavision toured to Canada, Japan and Germany in 2011. "We are particularly looking forward to performing in Chile in our 2012 season," says Lamblin.
