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 New York City, The Theater at the 14th Street Y and TLD co-present Time Lapse Dance Onstage on May 5 & 6, 2022 at 7pm and May 7 at 2pm & 7pm, featuring Wind Rose, American Elm, and the stage premiere of Plastic Harvest,which explores the proliferation of plastic pollution. The dancers wear costumes fashioned from hundreds of plastic bags, creating a surreal spectacle with their actions and provoking contemplation about the beauty of what—and who—our society throws away. Dance Enthusiast called the street iteration "a folk dance for the 21st Century." The opening night gala on May 5 will include a full performance followed by a special benefit reception and conversation with the artists.
