Dance fans who have had to miss programs at The Yard in Chilmark because of the need to ferry to the island can experience some winter/spring programs presented virtually through the Martha’s Vineyard company.
After the Yard’s 2020 season had to be canceled, new executive director Chloe Jones has set up a program to continue dance creation, performance and education this year “with a COVID-19 perspective.” There are several winter and spring events on tap for various ages and, behind the scenes, there will be residencies on and off the island to support new work.
Programs are ticketed on a pay-what-you-can basis.

The word bubble may have lost some of its champagne-fizz exuberance, given its covid-19-era sense: a group of people who interact closely while minimizing contact with others to reduce exposure. But pandemic-variety bubbles have offered hope for many, including dancers who have used the sheltered environments to train and generate new work.
