WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

This is the final phase of Fly-by-Night's two-year project inspired by Amelia Earhart and other early aviators. Performances feature floor-to-ceiling dance accompanied by Ken Pierson's piano and percussion score played live and Fred Hatt's video projections that include the use of aerial cameras, allowing the audience to view the world from within, above, and below the trapeze. Emotionally the work portrays Earhart's fearlessness (one solo is done blindfolded), and the passion of early aviators to put themselves in the air at all costs.

The Amelia Project, Phase II
This show was AMAZING!!! In addition to the fantastic physical prowess of the dancers both on the trapeze and on the floor, the show had heart.; it kept the audience emotionally engaged throughout - at various points it was funny, sad, exciting. I would go see any show that Fly-by-Night Dance Theater put on - theyre GREAT!!!

It reminded me of what pure joy was in simpler times
Watching the dancers obvious pleasure in this role, reminded me of when I was younger and would climb and swing from trees, not worried yet about lifes dangers nor doing it to impress anyone. Just the pleasure of the body working and the only thought is on the immediate experience. The videos were subtle and didnt take your focus away from the dancers. It kept me grounded with eyes and mind focused on the performance, yet my body seemed almost in flight. Great experience.
