Artistic Director Jody Sperling speaks about Time Lapse Dance’s climate and community engaged programs.
Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance, represented by Cadence Arts Network, Inc., presents two showcase performances at the 2023 Association of Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) conference. The showcases highlight the acclaimed climate-engaged collaboration between choreographer Jody Sperling and composer Matthew Burtner. This timely program has been heralded as “a visually gorgeous evening of performance” with “a deeper level to discover” (Fjord Review).
The performances feature excerpts of three works. In Wind Rose, dancers render changing atmospheric patterns palpable to sight, sound, and touch. Plastic Harvest explores the proliferation of plastic pollution. Sperling’s solo American Elm considers the relationship between trees and people.
The Saturday showcase will feature a conversation with Jody Sperling, Eco-Artist-in-Residence at The New York Society of Ethical Culture, about the work’s climate engagement.
