Bringing the Arctic Home

Bringing the Arctic Home

“Sperling’s magical Fuller-inspired pieces do have the look of natural phenomena—blossoming, evolving, changing shape.” 
–Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice


Time Lapse Dance brings the Arctic home June 20-21 with a program inspired by choreographer Jody Sperling’s incredible 7-week polar science mission, as choreographer-in-residence aboard a US Coast Guard icebreaker.
