How I would have loved to see this . . . Why were there just two performances?

Two performances only -- primarily because of $$$ and scheduling. (My guess is also that sales projections to fill a 2000 seat venue, Clowes, made 2 performances what could realistically be sold).

Coordinating 6 groups was quite the challenge, but the effect was literally jaw-dropping. I have seen DK do "Carmina" a number of times, but this collaboration took it to a whole new level. So proud to see this kind of event in Indy!

I agree. It was an amazing thing to behold. I too have seen DK's "Carmina Burana" several times (it is one of the best showcases of modern dance choreography I have ever seen...and I've seen many) but this performance was out of this world.
