An announcement was made that the Army Corps of Engineers lock will be closing at the end of the year to stop carp from advancing. How will this change Solstice River?
Will the section of the dance featuring the Women of the Waters, and the other dances that are staged on a platform above the lock doors (which are opened during the performance) and on the stairs be discontinued?
