In this new dance work, which made its debut at the 2004 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, light becomes the foundational element through which sculpture and movement arise and coalesce. “Illuminescence” is a lush fusion of colors, emerging to create an array of visual illusions while set to a mix of world electronica.

Music & Motion is a group of pre-professional dancers ages fifteen thru twenty-two, who have expressed an interest in pursuing a career in the dance field. Under the artistic direction of Steven Weisz, this groupÂ’s mission is to empower young people by way of the arts and dance, building self-esteem and inspiring creative self-expression and community action.

To that end, Music & Motion performs locally and in surrounding communities some eighteen performances a year, as well as performances in a fully professional atmosphere presented for corporations, retailers and live arts related venues. Music & Motion fulfills the need of young dancers by providing performing experience in a nurturing environment, while continually exciting audiences. The collaborative efforts of the entire company create a synergy rich in imagination, celebration and spirit.

First Night® is a festive, nonalcoholic event for all ages, featuring dazzling performances, art exhibitions, good food and enjoyable activities – there is something for everyone!

First Night® 2005 is a program of the Central Bucks Healthier Community Team (CBHCT). A percentage of the funds raised from First Night® Doylestown 2005 will fuel CBHT programs including: Youth Activities, Parent Engagement Programs, Student Fellowships, Resource Center for our Schools, Days of Community Service, Formation of Volunteer Database and much more.
