Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance (TLD) announces five onstage shows in Philadelphia and New York City in a continuation of their acclaimed climate change-themed collaboration with Matthew Burtner. The series of shows features live music by Burtner, Sperling as a soloist, and TLD's brilliant all-women ensemble.
In Philadelphia, the Mandell Theater presents the Melting Ice/Changing Winds: Dance and Music of Climate Change on April 29, 2022 at 7pm. The program features Ice Cycle, which was inspired by Sperling's experience dancing on polar sea ice and expresses the fragility and dynamism of Arctic sea ice. Dance Tabs called it "an unusually beautiful vision." Also featured in the program is Wind Rose ("hypnotic," World Policy Institute), which renders changing atmospheric patterns into palpable sight, sound, and touch. Sperling will also share a solo excerpt from a new work-in-progress, American Elm ("breathtaking," Dance Enthusiast), which considers the relationship between trees and people.
