How and where will dance take place in a post-COVID world? How is the pandemic shifting the way artists think of themselves and their work?
Jacob’s Pillow is excited to join with four U.S. choreographers—all of whose companies had planned to perform in-person at the 2020 Festival—to unpack some thoughts on the present, and plans for the future. We will be asking:
- What are they thinking about in this time of quarantine? Are they creating work?
- What might the role of live performance be post-COVID?
- What might performances look like that take into account social distancing strategies?
- What makes a successful digital dance experience?
Featuring Ana Maria Alvarez (CONTRA-TIEMPO), John Heginbotham (Dance Heginbotham), Liz Lerman, and Cleo Parker Robinson (Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble).
