Looking Back on White Bird's 23rd Season
While White Bird was unable to present live dance performances during the COVID-19 pandemic, we shifted to producing online events within our reduced capacity. We missed meeting with artists and our audience face-to-face, but very much enjoyed staying connected virtually.
