Hello, arts lovers.
My name is Rebecca French, and I'm an independent dance choreographer in Houston, Texas.  It's been a dream of mine to create a performance at the Turrell Skyspace at Rice University for several years and it's quite an honor to be fulfilling on that dream now. The space itself, both the architecture and the effect that it has on people when viewing the Twilight Epiphany Sunset light sequence, is so powerful and transformational that I feel compelled to add my voice to its beauty through dance.

I think now more than ever people need innovation and beauty from the arts, and that we can change the world by creating and sharing great art with each other. This project, titled Bodies of Light, was born out of that idea. The work itself will create a world that investigates how biology, technology and spirituality intersect through compelling movement, music, costuming and video effects. The incredible team at the Skyspace is working with me to fulfill my vision. In addition I'm working with eight amazing dance artists who all bring their strengths to this performance, and a very talented design team consisting of a costume designer, a film effects creator & projection artist, a set designer, and a body paint/makeup artist.

This project is a vast undertaking that requires innumerable hours of work and preparation, and it's going to take your help to make it happen. Please donate now to help take this transformational piece off the ground. Your donation will help to pay these amazing artists and designers, as well as pay for supplies and rehearsal space.

Please have a look at the benefits you'll receive with your donation, in addition to knowing that you're helping make great art happen in Houston at one of our most beloved architectural spaces.

THANK YOU.
