Spela Sterle Dance will perform Compound, a new collaboration towards a full-length
project that fuses dance, words, and music to depict the struggle with society's
opposing expectations of women: everything is expected yet no one thing must
define her. In Compound Ms. Sterle explores movement as being pure yet inspired
by gestures of everyday life; bringing a sense of visceral emotion and theater
to the piece. The dance is juxtaposed against text by Michael Eldridge and
music composition by Andy Parsons.
Hope to see you there!

Špela Sterle
Dance presents Verve Dances, an evening of contemporary dance works that fuse
movement with an eclectic blend of art media. In Verve Dances, Slovenian choreographer
and dancer Špela Sterle continues her quest to meld the cultures of two
disparate lands -- the natural beauty of her native Slovenia, and the urban
allure of her chosen home, New York City.
Verve Dances is filled with both abstract beauty and pure, visceral emotion
-- a unique theatrical experience. Original music by "Acquaman"
and jazz saxophonist and composer Andy Parsons, who will perform live; video
projection by Slovenia-based visual media artist Matej Kosir, textual elements
by Michael Eldridge with accompanying vide by Adam Etline, costumes by Patti
Gilstrap, set by Paula Digioia, and performed by Natalie Agee, Laura Caldow,
Paulina Danilczyk, Stephanie Lazzara, Eden Mazer, Cara Regan, Stacy Sumpman
and Špela Sterle.
