Time Lapse Dance presents the latest iteration of “Plastic Harvest,” a collaboration between choreographer Jody Sperling and composer Matthew Burtner investigating plastic pollution. Radically transformed by costuming fashioned from hundreds of plastic bags the dancers (Sperling, Maki Kitahara and Andrea Trager) appear as plastic monsters foraging and frolicking in their street habitat. Collected over months from family, friends, and neighbors, these plastic bags serve as a visual and kinetic archeology of our current moment.
Time Lapse Dance also presents excerpts from “Bunhead’s Back,” the comic and poignant portrayal of a Degas ballerina who discovers her head is screwed on backwards. In a nod to the pandemic moment, jill sigman/thinkdance shares an improvisation “healing (trying)” with dancers Dani Cole, Donna Costello, Carolyn Hall, Malaika Rinyire, Jordyn Santiago, Jill Sigman, Mary Suk, Kayva Yang, and Rishauna Zumberg.
During their furlough from the MET Opera in April 2020, the MET Orchestra Musicians have actively performed and taught to keep the music alive. For Street Arts, a string quartet of MET Orchestra Musicians presents a lively selection of music by Mozart, Joplin, and other composers.
The FREE Bridge for Dance family class will be a fun way for people of all ages to move their bodies. This 30 min class will start with a brief warm up and include a combination that's fun and easy to learn. No prior dance experience necessary.
