dirac Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Q&A with Stella Abrera. Quote Tell us about Kaatsbaan. How did the idea of holding live performances at Kaatsbaan this summer come about? Kaatsbaan is a 153-acre former horse farm which belonged to Eleanor Roosevelt’s grandparents. So there is a lot of history surrounding this beautiful property. It’s located in Upstate New York in the village of Tivoli. About 30 years ago, the Kaatsbaan Cultural Park became a dance residence space and an artists retreat. When the pandemic took hold and all live performances were cancelled across the country, Kaatsbaan’s executive director, Sonja Kostich, and I looked around all these vast fields and thought that if we could find a way to safely provide live performances to a limited number of audience members, if we could put in place a rigorous safety protocol for both the audience and the artists – this space would let it happen.
