SPECIAL THANKS
Jody Sperling & Time Lapse Dance (TLD) would like to express deep gratitude to leadership, the entire Staff, and Board of The New York Society for Ethical Culture, especially those serving on the residency planning committee, as well as The Ethical Culture Social Service Board, for hosting this performance & conversation and for the ongoing eco-artist residency. The residency is creating a home for TLD as we deepen our practice and develop new work. In 2023, we will be expanding American Elm into a larger-scale tree-dance project that will unfold in close collaboration with Ethical NYC and community partners. You may read more about the residency on Ethical NYC’s blog.
