Lightwire Theater has been featured as a
semi-finalist on NBC's America’s Got Talent and winner of Tru TV's Fake
Off. The group combines theater and technology to bring stories to life
in complete darkness and is internationally recognized for its signature
brand of electroluminescent artistry.
Lightwire
co-creators Ian Carney and Corbin Popp met in New York City while
dancing in Twyla Tharp's Movin' Out on Broadway. An immediate connection
was made between the kindred spirits as they discovered their mutual
love of art, theater, and technology. After coming across a product
called, “el wire,” the lights turned on and the possibilities seemed
endless. Together, with their wives Eleanor and Whitney, they began to
experiment with shapes and designs to develop puppetry-based neon
creatures that quickly came to life.
Based
in New Orleans, Lightwire Theater continues to create and deliver
innovative theatrical experiences to audiences worldwide including: Hong
Kong, Estonia, Canada, Belarus, China, Abu Dhabi, and as finalists on
My TF1’s, The Best Le Meilleur Artiste in Paris.
