Dear All,

In an effort to comply with the new rules on gatherings on the UCI campus advanced by the Chancellor, we are proposing to shift the Friday night performance of "Doing 40 Dances" to a live-streaming format. 
There will be no performances open to the public, but the performers will nevertheless go on with the show.

You will soon receive a follow-up email with the link and instructions for watching "Doing 40 Dances" via live-streaming at 8PM on Friday, March 13.

There will be no Saturday evening performance.

Note also that "The Pronouns": A Symposium has been postponed to a later date.  We will send updates as soon as a new date has been determined.

We greatly appreciate your patronage and hope to see you in person at one of our events later in the year.  Stay well!

Sincerely,

Carrie Noland
Director, International Center for Writing and Translation
