UpRooted Dance's Summer Front Yard Structured Improvisation
This outdoor site-specific structured improvisation was designed "covid-friendly" with lots of social distancing. The hula hoops symbolize our own little personal space bubbles. However, we wanted to dance together with others separately and safely. Performers include: Rachael Appold, Emily Crews, Matthew Cumbie, Elena Day, Jamie Doughty, and Keira Hart-Mendoza with music by Mark H Taiko. Mark was responding to the dancers and vice versa throughout the improvisation.
