It’s iLuminate–the sensational dance-in-the-dark finalists from “America’s Got Talent!”
iLuminate has returned to NY with their live show, “Artist of Light,” which is a really cool mix of music, dance & technology. The story is told through dance styles that include contemporary, hip-hop, Latin and breaking and popping, all using the power of wireless lightsuits.

I was lucky enough to be able to take my son to see this the other night:
“The show tells the story of Jacob, a talented but insecure young artist who struggles to connect with the real world. He takes comfort in his magical paintbrush, which grants him the power to turn the characters of his imagination into living, breathing creatures. When a jealous townsperson steals the paintbrush and turns his sweet creations into horrifying monsters, Jacob must face this danger without the help of his miraculous instrument. He fights to save his town and friends, all while knowing the paintbrush that brought him so much joy is now a weapon in the hands of a villain bent on destruction.”
To be honest, it would have been easier to follow along if I read this blurb first! Not that you need to follow along at all, it is such a fabulous hour of entertainment! We oohed and ahhed throughout, and we were also encouraged to participate verbally to encourage the good guy and boo the bad guy. I had never seen this group perform before and I am glad I had this opportunity. It was great fun, a great 1 hour show to take the family to if visiting NYC, or if you live here, it was perfect for my 10 year old son who loved it, and is probably good for almost all ages post toddler! Meanwhile, I was dancing in my seat the whole time, much to my son’s chagrin!
