It's been 14 months since Cleo Parker Robinson Dance performed before a live audience. On May 8 and 9, the ensemble, wrapping up its 50th anniversary season, will finally have a live performance on its own stage again.
And the dance-and-film spring show, “ComePassion,” will also be streamed live online for those who feel more comfortable watching from home.
"We're all being safe. … We're performing in masks,” said Cleo Parker Robinson, founder and artistic director. “We're doing social distancing and everyone is working overtime to make it absolutely perfect. And yet we're learning new things every day about how all this technology works with this hybrid kind of combination with (both) being in the theater and being on screen. Those are two different audiences and two different experiences.”
