5) DANCE/NYC AND GIBNEY PUBLISH DIGITAL TOOLKIT: REOPENING DANCE IN NYC
Online Resource Created to Support the Planning of Safe Reopenings Across the Dance Industry; Integrates State Guidance, Input from the Dance Community
Dance/NYC and Gibney have launched Reopening Dance in NYC (reopening.dance.nyc), a digital toolkit that aims to support the planning process that the dance industry faces while it works toward its eventual reopening. To ensure the highest level of safety for all dance workers, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit businesses, the toolkit has been developed from New York State, Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and World Health Organization (WHO) guidance and in collaboration with public health, medical, and legal experts over the past eight months. The release of this toolkit coincides with the launch of Open Culture, a program that marks progress toward the industry's anticipated reopening and will bring the arts safely to the streets following the Open Street model. Reopening Dance in NYC will be updated on an ongoing basis as changes warrant to reflect government guidance, COVID-19 information, and industry-wide input.
New York State and City have established reopening guidelines for various industries, however that guidance does not extend to the highly specialized dance industry. Reopening Dance in NYC provides a framework including Standard Recommendations for Dance, which directly adapt existing guidance, such as the guidelines for Gyms & Fitness Centers and Sports & Recreation activities as outlined by the New York State Department of Health. Additional considerations for dance industry-specific scenarios-ranging from independent dance workers and dance companies, to rental and class-focused studios, to presenting venues and more-are offered based on crowdsourced input from the dance industry. Moreover, the digital toolkit aggregates much-needed information through a glossary, an FAQ page, extensive resources, and downloadable posters and templates.
Dance/NYC and Gibney are uniquely suited to collate these resources. Dance/NYC brings its expertise in the areas of advocacy, research, and its field-wide network. Gibney offers its lens as a two-location dance studio, commercial and non-profit rental space, presenter, training hub, professional dance company, and employer navigating its own reopening plans. Additional input was provided by various medical, legal, and field-wide advisors. The full and growing list collaborators can be found here. The dance community is encouraged to help build upon the toolkit's scenarios and resources by contacting reopening@dance.nyc.
Dance/NYC and Gibney believe the dance industry must itself be just, equitable, and inclusive to meaningfully contribute to social progress and envision a dance ecology wherein power, funding, opportunities, conduct, and impacts are fair for all artists, cultural workers, and audiences. Reopening Dance in NYC aims to ensure that all organizations, businesses and companies have access to vital information to keep their communities safe. Dance/NYC and Gibney request that users of the toolkit are guided by a commitment to justice, equity and inclusion and act in the best interest and wellbeing of the communities they serve.

MasterVoices, under the artistic direction of Ted Sperling, will present Work, the second chapter of its central project for the 2020-2021 season: a four-part virtual rollout of award-winning composer Adam Guettel’s theatrical song cycle, Myths and Hymns. Conceived and supervised by Mr. Sperling, this free digital production will be offered starting on Wednesday, February 24 at 6:30 PM ET on mastervoices.org and the ensemble’s YouTube channel.
Inspired by Greek myths and a 19th-Century Presbyterian hymnal, the 1998 cycle is a kaleidoscopic collection of musical genres as it explores the nature of faith and longing in a secular world. New short musical films will illustrate the protagonist’s exploration of Flight, Work, Love, and Faith. Work features the MasterVoices chorus and soloists Shoshana Bean, Daniel Breaker, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Michael McElroy, Ailyn Pérez, and Nicholas Phan, and actor John Lithgow. Also contributing are directors Anthony Roth Costanzo, Doug Fitch, Anne Kauffman and Ted Sperling; visual artists Manik Choksi, Erik Freer, Thomas Nguyen, Adrienne Rogers, and Ray Charles White; lyricist Ellen Fitzhugh; and orchestrators Don Sebesky and Jamie Lawrence.
Myths and Hymns’ first chapter, Flight, launched on January 13 and the third and fourth chapters (Love and Faith) will be released in free digital installments, streaming on April 14 and May 26. All chapters will remain available for streaming from their respective launch dates until June 30, 2021. Held the evening prior to each installment’s public launch, MasterVoices will host a private virtual screening with additional content featuring Ted Sperling and some of the artists.
