What Dance Lovers Have Been Missing by: Camille Bacon-Smith
During this year of darkened theaters, some dance companies have embraced technology, taking the work outdoors and creating for film on the landscape or dancing with the tech itself. I enjoy these, but like most fans of live performance, I’ve missed sitting in a theater, engaging with the artists across the footlights. Streaming from the Annenberg’s empty Harold Prince Theater, PHILADANCO!’s October 29 performance brought that experience back.
