Time Lapse Dance, founded by Artistic Director Jody Sperling, has been captivating audiences for a decade with visual-kinetic theater that fuses experimental dance, circus arts and dazzling fabric-and-light spectacles. Dances re-imagining the swirling, sculptural style of modern-dance pioneer Loie Fuller (1862-1928) form a core of the repertory. Other works draw on genres including stilt-walking, hula-hooping, flag-dancing, partner acrobatics, contortion acts and vaudeville routines.
This fun family-friendly program features among other repertory: Sperling's spectacular Fuller-inspired Clair de lune; Forms of Dilemma, an essay on the interplay of light, shadow and movement; and Bang for the Buck, a comic circus-collage.

The Interdisciplinary Arts Symposium is sponsored by the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts, presented, in part, by the Lied Center for Performing Arts, and funded, in part, by the Hixson-Lied Endowment.
IAS Fall 2010 activities are supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
