C
My
name
is
ekaterina
katrigina,
usually
I
go
by
katya.
It
makes
everyone's
life
easier
and
I
have
a
master's
in
opera
from
the
university
of
oklahoma
and
then
I
got
a
performance
certificate
from
cu
boulder.
So
just
just
a
few
blocks
away
from
me
and
I
really
love
collaborative
projects
that
are
a
little
smaller.
I
mean
I
love
opera.
C
Oh,
am
I
going
first
okay,
I
actually
I
had
a
day
job
from
which
I
and
my
entire
staff
got
very
epically
laid
off,
so
that
was
really
difficult
for
about
a
month
and
a
half
yeah
about
a
month
and
a
half.
But
I
I
was
actually
lucky
it's
a
w-2.
It
was
a
w-2
job,
so
I
was
eligible
for
unemployment
and
I
was
covered
by
once.
The
care
act
kicked
in.
It
really
made
things
easier.
C
B
B
You
can
try
as
many
activities
and
things
as
you
want
to,
but
it
just
gets
tiring.
So
in
the
long
term
I
I
I
do
consider
myself
very
lucky
very
blessed
in
that
I
was
able
to
continue
providing
for
myself.
But
yes,
it
definitely
has
been
a
new
world
and
just
imagining
where
it's
gonna
be
going
forward
from
now
on.
Is
it's
going
to
be
different
and
we
just
have
to
keep
learning
learning
new
skills
coming
up
with
new
ideas
and
just
being
always
ready
to
adjust.
A
Yeah,
the
time
of
adjusting
has
been
real,
but
I'm
I'm
glad
to
hear
you
all
are
finding
some
silver
linings.
That's
that's
really
great
to
hear
so.
You've
obviously
been
awarded
a
kova
19
work
project.
Stipend.
Would
you
all
just
mind
telling
me
briefly
about
the
project
you
have
in
mind
and
how
it
can
promote
connectivity
in
your.
C
They
really,
you
know
they
can't
be
visited
by
family
and
music
is
just
such
a
wonderful
way
to
connect,
and
because
I
work
with
a
fair
amount
of
younger
singers,
they
sing
a
lot
of
musical
theater
and
just
from
having
done
a
lot
of
concerts,
there's
you
can
say,
like
you,
can
scream
a
bunch
of
high
fast
notes
at
people,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
they
will
love
something
like
somewhere
over
the
rainbow
or
just
some
really
classic
golden
era.
Musical
theater.
C
B
A
B
Well
so
yeah
we
are,
I
have
prior
to
call
it.
I
we
have
been
doing
performances
with
with
those
houses
right
now.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
still.
They
have
difficult
times
dealing
with
illness
and
just
protecting
their
population,
but
we
are
in
contact
with
a
few
facilities
and
and
working
out
the
details.
How
we're
gonna
make
it
happen
in
a
healthy
way.
That's
safe
for
everybody
involved.
A
B
Share
well,
I
can
I
can
go
ahead,
so
I
just
wanted
to
actually
say
thank
you
to
to
the
arts
department
at
the
city
of
boulder,
because
this
is
first
of
all,
not
only,
I
think
it's
great
for
for
the
community
and
for
building
the
community,
but
it
also
shows
that
the
city
does
care
about
the
arts.
It
cares
about
the
artists,
livelihoods
and
that
it's
it's
trying
to
help
as
much
as
they
can,
and
I
I'm
just
thankful
for
that.
C
Absolutely
it's
been
really
interesting
to
see
how
different
communities
have
dealt
with
this
and
I
keep
saying
lucky,
but
we
are
so
lucky
to
live
in
boulder
county,
which
cares
so
much
about
the
arts
and
it's
performing
in
visual
artists.
It's
it's
really!
Oh
no!
I'm
gonna
cry,
I'm
not
gonna
cry!
It's
fine,
but
it's
it's!
It
brings
us
hope
that
we
are
valued
because
it's
just
I
mean
it's
just
been
a
difficult
time,
so
to
be
able
to
do
something
like
this
and
get
a
grant.
It's
just.
