ARCTIC MEMORY
Performed by Valerie Levin
Choreography by Jody Sperling Music by composers Brooks Williams and Beo Morales
This version of “Arctic Memory” is adapted from material Jody Sperling developed during a 43-day polar science mission to the Arctic. While there, as the first and to-date only choreographer-in-residence aboard a US Coast Guard icebreaker, Sperling danced on sea ice and made the short film “Ice Floe,” winner of a Creative Climate Award. The work draws inspiration from modern-dance pioneer Loïe Fuller (1862-1928).
IN PASSING
Performed by Joel Dear and Christian Erwin
Choreography by Joel Dear and Christian Erwin
Music “When We Were Young” by Adele
Two men, strangers crossing paths in a busy city. Upon seeing a familiarity in the stranger’s face, a memory is restored as one man is transported back to a relationship unresolved.
