Originally from Canada, Matthias Sperling has been based in the UK since 1997 and is a Bonnie Bird New Choreography Award winner. His recent works have included commissions for Southbank Centre and Dance Umbrella, and he has collaborated and performed with Random Dance, Adventures in Motion Pictures and Siobhan Davies Dance.
Sperling’s interest in neuroscience is exciting and parallels Candoco’s interest in understanding how people move differently and what triggers movement. His solo piece will mark a departure for Candoco and is a rare opportunity offering an intimate experience to audiences who tend to relate differently to a single performer on stage – acutely aware of their vulnerability, resources and singularity.
