The Mandell Theater Presents brings Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance back to the stage in a program deepening the collaboration between choreographer Jody Sperling and composer Matthew Burtner, both acclaimed for their creative engagement with climate. Ice Cycle, a work inspired by Sperling’s experiencing dancing on polar sea ice, expresses the fragility and dynamism of the Arctic. Wind Rose visualizes local and global wind patterns that are changing dramatically along with the earth’s atmosphere. Northern Sky is a whirling meditation on planetary motion.

“Ice Cycle is an unusually beautiful vision suggesting, at times, the effects of global warming, encompassing Sperling’s environmental concerns as well as her choreographic and design mastery.” -Dance Tabs
