Welcome to underXposed:
One Issue. One Guest. A Lot to Think About.
In our first episode of underXposed, co-host Marcie Sillman takes a quick dive into a timely issue: after eighteen months of pandemic protocols, many arts organizations hoped life would resemble some form of normalcy by September 2021. The virulent Delta variant dashed those hopes. Spectrum Dance Theater's Executive Director Tera Beach explains to Marcie how the professional dance company and community school have tried to roll with the punches and keep their doors open.
"One of the disappointing things is seeing leaders - religious leaders, sports leaders, whatever - actively talk about not getting the vaccine." -- Tera Beach
