Created by Ian Carney and Corbin Popp, Lightwire Theater uses light, technology, and music to produce a fantastic presentation. Carney and Popp spearheaded the project after meeting each other in a set in New York City. Their mutual love for art and music led to an innovative showcase entertaining thousands of spectators worldwide. As kindred spirits, they aimed to create an alternative universe where dancers glow amidst a pitch-black room. Together, they use Electroluminescent wires, “el wire,” using a thin copper wire technology. When El Wire is turned on in a pitch-black room, the possibilities are endless. Together, they experimented and designed patterns and shapes and came up with a mix of mesmerizing colors. According to Lightwire’s founders, each character took approximately 200 hours to create. Using a black fabric as its background, Carney and Popp build sculptures of birds, dinosaurs, soldiers, swords, and more! These dancing neon creatures come to life the moment house lights are turned off.

Lightwire Theater has been featured in various TV shows, including Tru TV’s Fake Off and NBC’s America’s Got Talent. The showcases have also performed across the globe and entertained audiences in China, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Canada, and more. Lightwire Theater has several signature presentations, including Dino-light, Moon Mouse, a Very Electric Christmas, Lightwire: The Show, The Ugly Duckling, The Adventures of Tortoise, and Hare. These glow-in-the-dark adventures feature creative storylines and whimsical characters that will surely leave a lasting impression on viewers.
