Bella Lux, an adult dance group, will be taking the Belly Up stage on Sunday, April 17 at 8 p.m. to present Le Cirque du Lux, a unique and immersive dance theater performance. For one night only, audiences will get swept away into the dark underbelly of Le Cirque, as their story unfolds through dance, music, and mystique. Bella Lux – co-founded by Elease Sgarbossa and Beth Guerrette – was born from a fiery collective of dancers and performance artists in San Diego with talents ranging from burlesque, heels, hip hop, hoop, fire dancing, jazz, and more. “With a genuine love of music, dance, costumes, and nostalgia, we bring the creativity, personality and entertainment to all of our shows,” said Sgarbossa. “Whether channeling the 80s, Beyonce, or swinging back to the roaring 20s, our passion is to entertain, enchant, inspire, and mystify.” Bella Lux is made up of more than 30 women, who range in age from 20-60 years old. They are doctors, lawyers, scientists, moms, and more – all coming together for the passion of dance. They rehearse year-long out of MBDY +be in Encinitas. Bella Lux performs 2-4 times a year at Belly Up in Solana Beach. The all-women group incorporates dance, movement, theatrics, and props into their routine to provide countless entertainment to sold-out crowds. Tickets for Le Cirque du Lux are $20 (advance), $23 (day-of show) and $35 (reserved loft seating) and can be purchased at https://bellyupsolanabeach.frontgatetickets.com. This is a 21+ only event, with doors opening at 7 p.m. For more information, visit https://www.thebellalux.com + Facebook

From "5 Works Of Art To See In San Diego In May" (KPBS): Siobhán Arnold and Meagan Shein: 'Requiem For (Our) Mother Natures' On view at Sparks Gallery through October 2021 Sien Collective is a collaboration between artists Siobhán Arnold and Meagan Shein, and they've installed a beautiful, suspended sculptural work at Sparks Gallery downtown. The installation consists of approximately 200 hand-sewn translucent flowers made from discarded thin plastics. The pieces float overhead and are part fluffy cloud, part moon jelly, part fairy magic and part surreal pastoral dream. It's stunning — and yes, highly 'grammable — but also thoughtful, meditative work. It builds on a previous recycled flower installation, "Vanitas," and is commentary on the work and identities of women, domestic work, community grief and life cycles. Details: Exhibition information. Viewable from noon to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Through Oct. 2021. Free. --Julia Dixon Evans, KPBSFrom the gallery: Created by Siobhán Arnold and Meagan Shein, the minds behind SIEN COLLECTIVE, Requiem for (our) Mother Natures is a new installation at Sparks Gallery consisting of 200 flowers hand sewn from found/recycled clear plastic meticulously hung into a cloud shaped form.
