A shoe string, a piece of wire, a tin can, a flashlight - Jason Amato can make very cool light effects with most anything. A versatile designer who's lit everything from the Zilker Musical to the avant garde BodyMind, Amato excels when working for alternative artists with tiny budgets. We were especially taken with his recent job illuminating Sally Jacques and Tina Marsh's multimedia piece at Laguna Gloria. It isn't easy to light an orchestra, dancers swinging from trees, and boats in the lagoon, but he did it. And beautifully.
