“Dancing with Loie” Festival
Maryhill Museum of Art
Saturday, June 21, 2008, from 9am-10pm
Performance at 7pm

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.
