Snapshots – A Response to Covid-19

Snapshots is a video project created by Kaleidoscope Dance Company in April 2020 in response to social distancing measures put in place during the Covid-19 pandemic and the cancellation of the company’s annual Spring Concert. Each dancer created and filmed a piece in or near their home to convey their feelings about the pandemic and the impact the “new normal” is having on their lives.
