Representatives from several dance and performing arts organizations in Chicago convened to discuss the unprecedented crisis we faced. That group affirmed that we were all contending with many of the same issues and asking similar questions. It became clear that that was a time to assemble, not only to share useful information with one another, but also to reinforce our connection, compassion, creativity, and collective power.
This FREE event was open to everyone involved in the Chicago performing arts community, and the event was captioned. More than 200 people participated.
