Beach Performance, Waikiki;
December 17, 2005

In December 2005, the first previews of the selke scene from Electric Blue were performed for the public -- and hundreds of people showed up, at the "Sunset on the Beach" festival in Waikiki, just before Christmas.

The crowd response was ecstatic, and the arts press in Honolulu approved. As the dancers walked into the ocean, hand-in-hand into the sunset, the crowd moved in close to the water's edge, and there was a flash as the twelve dancers vanished, leaving a film of ashes on the waves.

For the final production, IONA work crews will bring fourteen tons of dry, meticulously-cleaned sand onto the main stage of the Hawai'i Theatre, for a challenging scene that demands athleticism, balance and concentration from the performers.
