Featuring: Rhapsody in Blue Performed by Angela Chiang, Jordan Cowan, Joel Dear, Christian Erwin, Jennifer Gruver, Jessica Huot, Stephanie Spencer, Tara Nicole Stamm, Conor Wagar and Sally Jeanne Watkins Choreography by Elisa Angeli Music George Gershwin Arctic Memory Performed by Valerie Levin Choreography by Jody Sperling Music by composers Brooks Williams and Beo Morales This version of “Arctic Memory” is adapted from material Jody Sperling developed during a 43-day polar science mission to the Arctic. While there, as the first and to-date only choreographer-in-residence aboard a US Coast Guard icebreaker, Sperling danced on sea ice and made the short film “Ice Floe,” winner of a Creative Climate Award. The work draws inspiration from modern-dance pioneer Loïe Fuller (1862-1928). In Passing Performed by Joel Dear and Christian Erwin Choreography by Joel Dear and Christian Erwin Music “When We Were Young” by Adele Two men, strangers crossing paths in a busy city. Upon seeing a familiarity in the stranger’s face, a memory is restored as one man is transported back to a relationship unresolved.
