With Argentina and Spain — by way of France—on the itinerary, two of the ballets in Dimensions Dance Theatre of Miami’s opening concert of the season will send us on fanciful globetrotting. The third, a premiere by company dancer and artist-in-residence Yanis Eric Pikieris, goes for a spin beyond the stratosphere.
“It’s beyond time,” Kronenberg says. “It’s lovely that we’ve all been doing virtual [performances], but at the end of the day, the art form is not about that. There is a big loss in the translation from live to digital. This is not where this art form lives.”
Adds Guerra: “We have to perform, and it can’t be all virtual. It is exciting that it is live, and it is important for the dancers.”
Dimensions Dance was a prominent content provider of virtual dance in 2020, with regular offerings that derived first from its archive and then from the creation of new online works. The spring program will be the first live, in-person performance for both the company and the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center since the start of the pandemic.
