* One of our goals for this project was to reflect how remote video communication has affected different segments of our population. The first piece  is inspired by the many students (and parents) navigating online learning and the arts educators creating virtual performances with young children.  There will then be a short break as we transition to pieces centered on a variety of adult quarantine experiences that contain more mature themes and language.
