Butoh: an avante garde form of ritualistic performance art, generated from post WWII Japan in response to American imperialism and westernization of the country. Butoh comes from subversive modern dancers of Japanese heritage, who created works "against dance" and more on the intrinsic nature of human emotion depicted through movement and facial expression.

A great deal of physical theatre buffs use this form to construct their knowledge of the body's simplist expressions into a more demonstrative performative art. It is storytelling through the body but not just in this form. It also focuses on meditation, mind/body somatics, and the element of movement in itself.

The fourth annual “Gathering in Gratitude” theatrical production is seeking spirited performers ages 5 to adult for its November pageant.

The Brattleboro Museum & Art Center and the Elliot Street Café are teaming up to empower our community to take arts philanthropy into its own hands!

Based on similar programs happening all around the world, BEAN Micro-Grant Dinners aim to enhance the vitality of art and artists in our community by providing artists with much-needed financial support and encouraging dialogue and collaborative decision-making between artists and the general public.

BEAN (which stands for “Brattleboro Essential Arts Network”) also aims to change the face of arts funding—from a top-down model with limited interaction between funders and recipients to one that features direct, personal contact between donors and their beneficiaries, allowing virtually anyone to become a philanthropist.

Led by Lauren Reedy, MA, D/MT (Dance/ Movement Therapist), this workshop focuses on improvisation for fostering depth, connection and creation in Authentic Movement. Using visualization, movement explorations and light stretches, it will offer the student a chance to move authentically, creatively and playfully, to ground in the inner self while exploring inner movement desires, patterns and stories – as individuals and with a group.
