When Loïe Fuller danced, she didn't just move: she conjured fire, butterflies, and ocean waves using only fabric and electric light. Dance scholar Jody Sperling unpacks how this 19th-century innovator merged performance with emerging technology, followed by a cross-disciplinary panel on art, science, and environmental change.
