Barnard dancers perform with Jody Sperling and Time Lapse Dance. Loie Fuller's original Ballet of Light (1908) was a cinematic spectacle involving the projection of images – including the sea, icebergs, snowstorms, fires, space and an aurora borealis – onto transparent gauzes hung at the front of the stage. This project involves the mingling of serious scholarship with active choreographic imagination

Barnard dancers perform Stephen Petronio's Lareigne – “ … a heroically beautiful figure, seeming to float through fierce bursts of swirling, dynamic movement. Seven other join in, shot forth so deftly that at times they seem like dozens, their lashing limbs and unfurling torsos expressing infinite possibilities. “- Susan Reiter, Newsday

The program also features premieres by Camille Brown and Donlin Foreman and a restaging of the classical ballet Paquita by Robert La Fosse.
