Boundaries are tricky in the best of times — and are especially crucial for safely navigating the current pandemic. Kori Wilford, COVID-19 Joint Information Center Manager for the Larimer County Department of Health, talks with Colorado musicians about clear communication and the language of consent applied to concerts in the time of COVID-19.

Join us to explore how artists and audiences can best navigate conversations and interactions related to appropriate distance, respecting limits, and expressing your love for your favorite musicians – and music lovers – while honoring each other’s health and happiness
