Coastal Roots Farm’s new yearlong incubator is designed to nurture artistic voices at the intersection of Judaism and the climate crisis. The Jewish Climate Artists for California Incubator will bring together six performing artists from across the state to explore, create, and premier new works that inspire climate action and resilience.

Over ten months, participating artists will deepen their connection to Jewish and ecological wisdom and wise action through performance. The program begins with a five-day retreat at Coastal Roots Farm in September 2025, continues with bi-weekly virtual gatherings, and culminates in workshops and live performances at our Regenerate! Eco-Performance Fest in May 2026.

Selected artists will receive a $2,000 honorarium, travel support, and connections with leading Jewish and environmental thinkers, ritual leaders, and artistic directors.

For funders and partners: This program is made possible by The Covenant Foundation and other visionary supporters. If you’re passionate about the power of the arts to drive social and environmental change, join us in making this work possible. Email Philanthropy Manager Sara Blodgett at [email protected] for details.

When we imagine and share new stories about the earth, the climate crisis, and the future we hope for, we come much closer to creating that future. We build our world from the stories we tell, and far too many current stories are helpless, despairing or confusingly naive. Let's tell more resilient, comforting, hilarious and inspiring eco-stories, towards a more loving, equitable, and spiritually joyful world! Head over to the Eco Jewish Play Fest at 7/16 at 5:30pm and we’ll see you there!

Using only natural materials including chalk, charcoal and earth pigments, Popa created the gigantic Tyrannosaurus rex on the red rock of the Utah desert.”

"Jody Sperling is a dancer-choreographer and Founder/Artistic Director of Time Lapse Dance. She has created more than 45 works including many furthering the legacy of performance technology innovator Loie Fuller (1862-1928). Considered the preeminent Fuller stylist, Sperling has expanded the genre into 21st-century environmentally-focused performance. She has toured nationally and internationally and taught at many colleges and universities. In 2014, Sperling participated in a polar science mission and danced on Arctic sea ice, creating the dancefilm "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" (premiere Cannes Film Festival). Sperling is developing ecokinetics, a practice cultivating the relationship between the moving body and ecological systems and throughout the pandemic, has been focusing on programming street festivals and producing dance media. Sperling holds a BA in Dance & Italian Studies from Wesleyan University, an MA in Performance Studies from New York University, and an MFA in Dance from Montclair State University.

Time Lapse Dance (TLD) is an all-women 501(c)3 dance company founded by Sperling in 2000. TLD envisions dance as a powerful force that can help move us toward a more embodied, sustainable and equitable future. The work aims to investigate the relationship of the moving body to the ecologies we inhabit through performance, media, education, and activism."
