Melting Ice/Changing Winds continues the collaboration between choreographer Jody Sperling and composer Matthew Burtner, both acclaimed for their creative engagement with climate. This entrancing dance and music program, features the Time Lapse Dance company and live musical performances by Burtner.
A highlight is the world premiere of "Wind Rose," visualizing and sonifying winds patterns that are changing dramatically along with the earths atmosphere. The program also features the "Ice Cycle," a "chillingly-apt" work inspired by Sperling's experience dancing on Arctic sea ice. The program concludes with "Northern Sky," a whirling meditation.
