Socially distanced onstage and masked, the company in UMD’s ‘bare” had to find new ways to employ their craft, since only their eyes were visible, and they could neither touch or even get too close to their fellow actors.
Kudos to Thomas Jacobsen, director and music director, and choreographer Matthew Wagner, for helping their cast members find new ways to express themselves, with their acting and dance stylized with lyrical grace and symbolic movement to fit the restrictions of staying true to COVID protocols.
