On Access Utah, we’ve checked in with arts organizations a couple of times during the pandemic. Today we’ll do so again. We’ll see how these organizations have fared in difficult circumstances, what creative new ideas might become standard practice, and what the future looks like. And we’ll ask you how your habits have changed during the pandemic and what you’re most looking forward to attending as things ease a bit.
If you are with an arts organization, we’d love to hear how your organization is doing. Email us now to upraccess@gmail.com Our guests will include Wendi Hassan, Executive Director of Cache Valley Center for the Arts; Daniel Charon, Artistic Director with the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company; and Cory Evans, USU Director of Choral Activities.
On-demand Feb. 13 – March 11
Tickets $18 Tori Duhaime
If 2020 was a trying transitional time for the performing arts, 2021 is the time of understanding what everyone learned when forced by necessity to innovate. Last fall, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company artistic director Daniel Charon observed that while creating a new work at a time when it wasn t clear whether it would be for a live audience or a virtual presentation, he had to be thinking about it in both ways simultaneously. Now, with the understanding that virtual presentation was definitely the platform for Ririe-Woodbury s
Home Run production, Charon says he was able to embrace it fully.
