Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance Popup Show

Jody Sperling/Time Lapse Dance will activate Island residents and visitors with a popup performance, presented by The Yard in close partnerships with the First Congregational Church, the Field Gallery and the West Tisbury Library.

The climate emergency is real and overwhelming. To help us grapple with life in the anthropocene, we deploy dance to awaken the senses to atmospheric change, to confront our climate grief, to build community around climate resilience and to facilitate action. We have to stop thinking of climate change as only ​happening “out there,” as in the melting Arctic or the burning Amazon, but as a phenomenon that is drastically changing our own habitats wherever we live. Ecokinetics, a dance practice that focuses on the relationship between human movers and natural systems, is our way of entering this reckoning. We do this through residencies, site activations and climate performances.
