Artistic Director and Choreographer Jody Sperling and Time Lapse Dance have intrigued audiences for the past decade with visual and kinetic routines that integrate experimental dance, circus arts, and light spectacles. The 10th anniversary spectacular will present the Time Lapse Dance world premiere of “Forms of Dilemma,” an examination of materials, movement and aerial mechanics which has been awarded an Emerging Artists Commissioning Program grant from the STREB Lab for Action Mechanics (S.L.A.M.). Sperling has also partnered with student dancers from Barnard College for “Ghosts,”a lively display of color and fabric that adapts the innovative style of modern dance pioneer, Loie Fuller (1862-1928) to a contemporary context. Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance will also incorporate a montage of vaudeville-inspired nuances, lighting techniques conceived by Lighting Designer, David Ferri and a new piece featuring Dancer-Aerialist Rachel Salzman.

The Turquoise Lounge Mar 11 - 12 at 7:30pm
New York, NY, February 2, 2010 - Sahar Javedani concludes her 100-hour creative residency, as a part of Dance Theater Workshop’s Studio Series, with two work-in-progress showings of The Turquoise Lounge - a work examining the physical and emotional territories of allegiance. Inspired by a true event, The Turquoise Lounge is a laboratory of linguistic confrontations, visceral resignations, and voracious appropriations following a small group of travelers detained at airport customs. Placed deliberately in an intimate setting, the audience is visibly caught within nets of bewildering and puzzling interdependencies. It is these characters’ desperate search for the familiar, resistance to change, and perverse need to connect that simultaneously reconfirms and dismantles stereotypes of the Middle Eastern and Western diaspora respectively.
“The whole piece occupies an area of comic limbo where it’s never completely clear what is genuine and what is satirical, from the heavily accented English to the commentary to the dance solo itself, though clearly Javedani is one sharp woman.” - Quinn Batson, offoffoff.com Read the rest of this entry »

We have rounded the bend with part 2 of Community Choreography #20. During part 1, we asked for a location, ideas for shooting the dance, and an order by which these moves should be performed. We took those ideas, integrated a few of them for a re-shoot with Jillian and put it all together.
We present, Community Choreography #20, part 2:
We’re not done with this video yet. In the comments below, tell us how to influence the final version.
(Answer any of the following)
- What sound do you want to hear (music, speeches, sound scapes)?
- How else should we edit it (speed up/slow down a certain part, change it to black and white, add a color filter, add Ronald McDonald’s ever-vigilant head floating in the corner of the screen)?
- What other ideas do you have for the editing of this?
Don’t forget to include your twitter name, if you’re on twitter.
