Performance and Talkback with Eco-Artist-in-Residence Jody Sperling and the Time Lapse Dance Ensemble

May 19, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

The New York Society for Ethical Culture presents a stunning evening of ecologically-themed works by Eco-Artist-in-Residence Jody Sperling and the Time Lapse Dance ensemble.

The program, which showcases the climate-engaged collaboration between Sperling and environmental composer Matthew Burtner, features excerpts from Arbor, a new work-in-progress dwelling on the relationship between trees and people. The evening also includes repertory highlights from: Wind Rose, which renders changing atmospheric patterns palpable to sight, sound, and touch; Plastic Harvest, exploring the proliferation of plastic pollution; and Sperling’s whirling meditation on planetary motion, Piece for a Northern Sky. The performance will be followed by an artist talkback.
