Personally, I\u2019ve never been more inspired by the resiliency of our performing arts community far and near than right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of Movement Source Dance Company and local dance advisor for the Center, MaryAnne Herding was likewise inspired to create a work that was accessible even through quarantining measures. MaryAnne and I were especially moved by the new work, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/jacobjonas.com\/the-work\/performance\/parked\/\" target=\"_blank\">PARKED<\/a><\/em> created by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/jacobjonas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jacob Jonas The Company<\/a>, who was recently in our community for a residency and public performance last season. We quickly came together to produce a drive-in style performance later developed into <em>Reconnect!<\/em>, directed by MaryAnne Fernandez-Herding and Susan Pine Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"624\" height=\"468\" src=\"https:\/\/scottsdaleperformingarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scottsdaleperformingarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image.png 624w, https:\/\/scottsdaleperformingarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/scottsdaleperformingarts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image-400x300.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><figcaption>Movement Source company dancers on-site at rehearsal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There were plenty of fun surprises and turns this project took throughout the longer than normal planning process, from location hunting to working with live musicians. Movement Source dancers, &#8220;loved rehearsing outside under the night sky\u2014the moon and stars, the breeze, the open space is so awesome!&#8221; commented MaryAnne. Of course, as with many new ventures, there were some challenges to overcome such as rehearsals with masks, dancing on concrete, and lots of planning with the city of Scottsdale. However, dancers noted, &#8220;once we start moving, especially to the live music, we forget all that and just enjoy dancing together.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts | Movement Source Dance Company | Rehearsal\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/477723561?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Press play to watch behind-the-scenes clip.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/scottsdaleperformingarts.org\/event\/reconnect-a-parking-lot-dance-project\/2020-11-13\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reconnect!
