Dancing on a lonely gravel road, in a dimly lit ballroom studio, by the shores of Lake Superior at sunrise — the settings for the University of Minnesota Duluth's Virtual “Danceworks 2020” concert were as eclectic as the musical styles and choreographers’ visions.
In many ways, this virtual concert, done as individual videos, made for an appropriate study in “art-making in the COVID era,” as described by Rebecca Katz Harwood, co-artistic director and UMD associate professor.
