Collage, stills from Skydance by Elaine Summers at the University of Iowa 1982, depicting different scenes of the performance: an air balloon soaring towards an endless evening sky, dancers in white running, leaping, dancing and circling around with colourful balloons, a dancer suspended in the arms of their partner who is dressed like a 1930s pilot, both floating in the embrace of a vast blue sky, Otto Piene’s long transparent alien-like balloons floating upwards to the gentle wind.

This year, we will highlight Skytime Elaine's parting gift to the world:
An open invitation to anyone, anywhere to celebrate the wonders of the sky
in any language or medium. With the internet emerging more publicly by 1995, Elaine became especially interested in this new medium: What is it like? What can it do?
