Arctic Memory
Performer: Valerie Levine
Choreographer: Jody Sperling
Music composed by Brooks Williams and Beo Morales
Costume by Mary Jo Mecca
This version of "Arctic Memory" is adapted from material Sperling developed during a 43-day polar science mission to the Arctic. While there, 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 Loa??e Fuller. The costume is hand-painted with designs suggestive of Arctic pack ice.
When Atoms Embrace
Performer: Liz Yoshiko Schmidt
Choreographer: Lorna Brown
Music by Arvo Part - "Spiegel im Spiegel"

"Lay me in a field of wild flowers, let the scent perfume the hours.
When The Atoms embrace and time changes pace, I find my magical powers."
Take Five

Choreographer: Eliot Halverson
Music: Dave Brubeck
This season, ITNY will also be performing at The Rink at Rockefeller Center, The Rink at Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park, Wollman Rink in Central Park, Riverbank State Park, and Lefrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park.
