Next up in Kaats Cradle Theater Series, interdisciplinary dancer, choreographer and theater maker Gerry Trentham will visit Stamford to present a recent dance film “Ray” at the carriage house theater space behind 76 Main Street, Stamford at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26 and share a community artist talk with attendees.
Trentham is the second performing artist featured in the Kaats Cradle Theater Series, which provides local and visiting theater artists the space and opportunity to develop new work and present original performances to Catskills audiences.
Earlier in the week, Trentham will offer a solo performance development workshop - many of the exercises he will lead and describe are tools he uses in his personal practice and which will be displayed in the film screening. This is a great opportunity for dancers, theater makers, and writers who wish to bring their words to life or find new modes of composition, and for curious folks interested in exploring their ideas through performance. Free; all levels of experience welcome.
Those interested in the workshop can reach out via mrsacrso@gmail.com
The workshop will be scheduled to best suit community availability based on interest.
Tickets are available in advance and at the door for a suggested donation of $5, but audiences may pay-what-they-wish at bit.ly/kaatscradletix
