The IDI company spent two months at SBM providing community engagement and educational programs, and also the 2nd Seacoast Skating with the Stars event. The company was touring across the Mid-Atlantic and New England region getting rave reviews. After spending a week in Stowe, VT creating Cindy Stuart’s Experience during IDI’s 1st Spruce Peak Performing Arts Residency, March 11-16, 2020, the pandemic shut the world down. The premier of Cindy’s piece was cancelled, the remaining tour dates in Boise, Aspen, Park City and Sun Valley were shut down and the company returned home. If all goes well, March 2022 will be the return of touring for the IDI company.
