Sperling earned a World Choreography Award nomination for her work on the Fuller biopic “The Dancer” (Dir. Stephanie Di Giusto, 2016 Cannes Film Festival). In 2014, Sperling participated in a polar science mission–as the first choreographer-in-residence aboard a US Coast Guard icebreaker–and danced on Arctic sea ice. Currently, she is developing a performance practice called eco-kinetics that cultivates the relationship between the dancing body and the environment.
