Created during the stay at home orders with rehearsals via Zoom Breathe will take audience members on a journey reflecting the past months of the pandemic, including the fear of COVID-19 and it's potential attack on one’s breathing, the physical isolation of the stay at home orders and the protests of George Floyd’s death by suffocation. Presented by The Original Farmers Market, LAUNCH LA and Television City with the support from the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs, the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, Council member David Ryu, CD 4, and the local arts and business community, Breathe is the headlining event of the 18th Annual TARFEST.

Created with social distancing in mind, audience members will stay in their parked cars during the performance, safe and socially distanced from the performers and other audience members. The audience will have the opportunity to participate in the performance by lending their headlights to illuminate the dancers. #breathe #lauriesefton #dance #choreographed #drivein #fairfax #farmersmarket #liveevent #publicevent #socialdistanced #expression #performanceart #message #launchla #tarfest #tarfest2020
