Aradiai Lawrence Hoops / Light Wizard
HOOPDANCE- my EVOLUTIONARY CENTER of BALANCE with PURPOSE. Beginning in Mexico,
while soul searching for a direction in life; I discovered these simple magic circles. Upon
returning to the States I became certified to teach, at which point, my desire has continually
expanded to include interactive and solo performance with led and fire hoops. Since July I have
and still perform weekly at the Red Shed Tavern with Austin's extraordinaire Dr. Dubbist. Hoops
create happiness.

Josh Bladzik Juggler
As a youngster the glitz and glamour of the circus and sideshow seduced another victim and he
was hooked. He pursued circus arts with a zest learning everything he could. Studying juggling,
unicycling, trick rope, gun spinning, fire manipulation and other lost arts he developed a
multifaceted array of talents. With these talents Josh has been on multiple TV shows, magazines,
and newspapers and has performed all over the country.

saw the advantages of seeking out new art forms when moving to Austin in 2000. Soon after, he
was introduced to the Brazilian art of Capoeira, a dance like martial art that involves music,
creative body movements and acrobatics. He practices with Austin’s oldest group, Capoeira
Evolucao under the supervision of Mestre Rodrigo Zerlotti. www.capoeiraevolucao.com

Richard Phillips Creator / Producer
Years ago Richard had a vision of performers dancing with illuminated props and interupting
beams of light to create music. He turned his vision into a goal and devoloped the Synth A Beam
System (musical lights) selling them all over the world. Now he expresses his creativity in the 3rd
edition of Light Wizards at First Night Austin 2010. But there is still more to come as he plans to
open The Illumination Theater right here in Austin showcasing the full version of the show as well
as other performance artists and musicians.
