Time Lapse Dance presents a studio season featuring the premiere of Jody Sperling's Turbulence. This new work for six women visualizes patterns of air disturbance into kinetic sculptural forms. The music, composed by Quentin Chiappetta, was commissioned with funds from the American Music Center's Live Music for Dance program and will be performed live by virtuoso percussionist Tigger Benford. Featuring complex shifting rhythms, the musical score forms a dynamic aural architecture which the choreography reflects with spiraling vortices and rippling waves.
The movement expands on Sperling's many years of fascination with the artistry of early modern dancer Loie Fuller. The dancers wear costumes after Fuller's style featuring voluminous folds of white silk which billow into captivating motions.
The program also features Sperling's "time-sensitive" solo Not Here Yet. As an expecting mom (who will be seven months pregnant at show-time), Sperling plays with how the anticipation of new life affects the present moment.
A reprisal of Sperling's ever-popular Clair de lune will conclude the performances.
The Season includes an opening night benefit/reception, a talk-back on Thursday evening and a Saturday matinee followed by participatory workshop. All performances are family-friendly.
DANCERS: Jenny Campbell, Sarah Chien, Marissa Maislen, Yana Velinova Orlic, Krissy Tate & Chriselle Tidrick.
For Turbulence, Time Lapse Dance has received generous support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs's Cultural Development Fund and the American Music Center's Live Music for Dance Program.
