“Sally Jacques is the Christo of dance.”
– Stephen Mills, Artistic Director Ballet Austin
“Blue Lapis Light has soared since the first performance we attended years ago. Sunday night was not just cohesive, consistent, and striking: there were moments of sheer grace when, impossibly, one could almost hear the doors of transcendence creek open. Moments when one wished to embrace humankind at the sight of dancers in suspense, gliding across beams of light in seas of music, as toddlers danced below. Moments when a hundred personal worlds melted away and a hundred souls shared the emotion of a singular vision.
That is an artistic achievement, and it is yours.”
– Philippe Damboumet
“Wow, what a show, loved it, the best therapy!”
– Ken Atwater
“My wife and I recently watched the Seaholm performance of Belonging... It was excellent and captivating. Not only was your visual performance amazing, but the music that accompanied the performance was equally choreographed.”
– BH
“I cannot tell you what an awesome experience I had. I truly loved every moment! I am so grateful to have been a part of something so rewarding!”
– Lizzy Allen
The performance was incredible. It was truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen… I wept from the beauty of it for most of the show.
– Gretchen
