Pivot 2.0
SITE-SPECIFIC DANCE, THEATRE & PERFORMANCE WORKS
Now in its second year, The Pivot Series was created to present performances to socially distanced outdoor audiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was such a great hit with audiences longing for live dance and theatre, we decided to present one more series of outdoor presentations before we go back indoors this fall and winter. Pivot 2.0 features dance, circus, theatre and performance works presented in parks, parking lots, gardens and outdoor pavilions. Enjoy!
