Berkeley Dance Shows Canceled As Group Members Test For Covid

BERKELEY, CA — A renowned Brooklyn-based dance group canceled two of its three Berkeley performances over the weekend after members tested for COVID-19.

Mark Morris Dance Group canceled performances on Saturday and Sunday (Dec. 18 and 19) after performing to glowing reviews Friday at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall.

“Despite robust safety measures, two of our three performances at Cal Performances in Berkeley (12/18 and 12/19) were cancelled due to positive Covid-19 cases among the touring party reported during routine testing,” the dance group wrote on its Facebook page.

“Thank you to our dancers, crew, and Cal Performances staff for their hard work. We wish all those affected a swift recovery and safe travels back to Brooklyn. Amidst the heartbreak of cancelled performances, we wanted to share a lovely review of opening night at Cal Performances, the only show we were able to perform for our audiences.”
