Google launched a $50 million initiative to teach young girls how to code with a spectacular kick-off event in New York City this past Thursday, June 19th. The evening's starry lineup included Mindy Kaling, Chelsea Clinton, Iconic Pop, and Miral Kotb, founder of iLuminate. The event even featured performances by the cast of the Off-Broadway smash hit iLUMINATE, which recently celebrated its 400th performance at New World Stages. Scroll down for photos!
iLuminate wowed the nation with their groundbreaking light suits and innovative dance moves on NBC's "America's Got Talent," where the dance-in-the-dark sensation was selected as one of the hit show's top finalists after judge Piers Morgan called them "The Best New Act in America!"
Music, art, dance, and the technological magic of iLuminate brings this extraordinary spectacle to the New York stage, combining mythical elements with adventure and romance, told through dance styles which include contemporary, hip-hop, Latin, and breaking, all using the power of light. And created with code!
The creative team for iLUMINATE includes Miral Kotb (Director, Choreographer, Author), Athena Sunga (Co-Author), Justin "Kanobby" Keitt (Composer/Musical Director), Christopher Tignor (Composer), John "JRock" Nelson(Choreographer, Scenic & Costume Designer), Dario Mejia (Choreographer), Marcus Allan Cobb (Choreographer, Costume Designer), Rick Sordelet & Christian Kelly-Sordelet (Fight Directors), and Franzblau Media, Inc. (Executive Producer).
