SUMMARY:Sunday Platform: Ethical and Ecological Dancing with Resident Artist Jody Sperling
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nNYSEC’s Eco-Artist-in-Residence Jody Sperling shares her dancemaking journey into the realms of ecology and ethics. She relates how the residency began\, the many ways that it is continuing to grow\, and the process behind making dances that respond to climate realities. Then\, she tells the story of how this climate-engaged work took her and company to Egypt–and how and why that tour was almost cancelled at the last minute. The presentation concludes with a collective movement experience. \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests! \nJoin Online\nClick Here to RSVP on Zoom \nAbout Jody Sperling\nJody Sperling is a dancer\, choreographer\, and founder of the Time Lapse Dance ensemble. Since 2022 Sperling and company have been Eco-Artists-in-Residence at the New York Society of Ethical Culture where they are advancing their mission of dancing toward a more embodied\, sustainable\, and equitable future. \nSperling is the leading exponent of performance technology innovator Loie Fuller (1862-1928)\, and has expanded Fuller’s genre into contemporary and environmental forms. In 2014\, Sperling participated in a polar science mission and danced on Arctic sea ice\, creating the short dance film Ice Floe\, which was honored by the Creative Climate Awards. She earned a World Choreography Award nomination for her work on the French feature The Dancer (Dir. Stephanie DiGiusto\, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival). Sperling’s work and company are also prominently featured in the feature-length Fuller documentary “Obsessed with Light”. The Paul Taylor Dance Company performed two of Fuller’s works in their 2024 Lincoln Center Season. \nIn recent years\, Sperling’s work with her company and throughout the NYSEC residency has focused on creatively engaging with climate change and developing ecokinetics\, a practice that cultivates the relationship between human movers and ecological systems. \nMonthly Collection\nTime Lapse Dance \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.
