Part of a two-week festival, the program is hosted by Victoria Libertore and includes artists Pooh Kaye, Naoko Maeshiba & Mikroknytes (Baltimore), Christine Suarez (Los Angeles) and Sarah Williams (Montreal). 
“Dancing with Loie” Festival Day-long celebration of Loie Fuller includes lectures by Sperling, as well as authors Ann Cooper Albright and Rhonda Garelick, among others. Festival culminates with Time Lapse Dance performance offering a special preview of Ghosts, a new work-in-progress. Playing with illusions of physical appearance and disappearance, this trio moves Fuller’s vocabulary of billowing undulations into an experimental context with an original score, by Quentin Chiappetta. Performance also includes revivals of Sperling’s critically-acclaimed Dance of the Elements and La Nuit. Full details here
