MADArt director Santino Lo built up a light of water installation with ultraviolet light and fluorescent
enhanced water. Based on the installation, resident choreographerLauren Camp creates a dance piece
with 6 dancers with music performed by Americas leading modern trombone collective Guidonian
Hand andcomposed by ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award winnerJeremy Howard
Beck. To bring in visual arts components, Colombian artistLeo Castaneda will exhibit his illusionisticabstract paintings, and work with Artistic Director Santino Lo to design the moving
environment. The performance on 5/25 will conclude with an after-party featuring Paris-based post-
modern jazz trio The Kandinsky Effect, and the audience is encouraged to meet the artists over
reception.
