Trapeze Disrobing Act (2000)10 minutes DANCER: MUSIC: various composers, Edited by Quentin Chiappetta In this humorous play on the pleasures and perils of voyeurism, Sperling sheds multiple layers of clothes all the while dangle from, and executing tricks, on a trapeze. The dance was inspired by a 1901 Edison film. "wonderful" –Darrah Carr, Dance Insider "a sly joke on voyeurism." –Miriam Siedel, Philadelphia Inquirer the ever-popular 'Trapeze Disrobing Act' ...was a treat. The dead-pan delivery, dexterity and darn funny idea of going from parka to bikini via tuxedo, fatigues and a flouncy gown, while dangling on a trapeze was genius. Unfurling a large Canadian flag deftly tucked in the back of star-spangled panties has more political undertones than I care to consider, but it's a kick-ass finale." –Shena Wilson, Dance Insider |
