Hudson Valley Vegfest this weekend in Poughkeepsie

environmental consciousness, the Hudson Valley Vegfest is a zero-waste event. The festival has partnered with Zero to Go, an education-based waste management company focused on composting and recycling. At various staffed stations set up around the venue, attendees will be able to learn about composting, recycling and environmentally sound waste management as every bit of waste generated is properly sorted. Programming begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Admission costs $10. Children under 10 are admitted free. For a full schedule, visit www.hvvegfest.org. Gold’s Gym is located at 258 Titusville Road in Poughkeepsie.

“Windows on Main Street” art show in Beacon this Friday Emphasizing the two-pillar platform of health advantages and sustainability/carbon footprint, the Hudson Valley Vegfest is an expo devoted to the particulars and overarching philosophies of vegan living. Offering speakers, fitness demos, film, music and art and, of course, a plethora of plant-based food, the Hudson Valley Vegfest takes place on Saturday and Sunday, September 23 and 24 at Gold’s Gym in Poughkeepsie. The event’s founders emphasize that their program is designed to speak to the “vegan-curious” every bit as much as to the committed vegan. Presentations and speakers include cooking demonstration from Naliaka Wakhisi, the Brooklynbased founder of NYC Vegans of Color, as well as a screening of What the Health, an astonishing 2017 documentary from the producers of the groundbreaking documentary Cowspiracy. In keeping with its core principles of

City as art: BeaconArts explores the possibilities with “Windows on Main Street,” a collaboration between artists with local business owners that transforms Beacon’s streetscape. 2017’s “Windows on Main Street” theme is “art as cultural agency.” In the larger perspective, the work of transforming Beacon’s commercial environment speaks to the intangible as well as the measurable economic value that the large number of artists working in the Beacon area brings to the community. The logistics of this innovative project are fascinating. Artists express desire for specific storefronts, but the storefronts must be feeling it too; and oftentimes, multiple artists angle after the same space. This year’s exhibit runs from September 22 to November 12. One would think a fall visit to Beacon would be in order – maybe to shop for some art or catch a show at Quinn’s or the Howland.

Art Walk in Kingston this weekend

Got a community suffering from urban decay? Bring in some artists and watch it turn around as they invest their sweat equity and creativity, transforming dilapidated industrial lofts into affordable combined living and workspace. It has worked for one big city after another, and now it’s happening in Kingston. The establishment of the Midtown Arts District in 2014 has added more fuel to a movement that has been gathering steam for a couple of decades now. The Uptown/Stockade and Rondout Districts are home to many working artists as well. Still, it will come as a surprise to many that Art Walk Kingston – now only in its second year – is already the largest artist studio tour in the Hudson River region, offering more opportunities to visit artists at work than similar tours in other communities that have been around for much longer. The second annual Art Walk Kingston open studio weekend returns this Saturday and Sunday, September 23 and 24 from noon until 5 p.m. More than 70 artists are opening their doors to the public for the 2017 edition. New additions this year include the Kingston Pop Museum, Kingston Ceramics Studio, the woodworking studios and Vernacular Designs and Johnny Poux, Bali Steel Pan and an O+ Mural tour. You can pick a neighborhood and do a walkabout, or hop on the Kingston Trolley, which will operate on the Art Walk route this year, to move between them. For a concentrated dose of artistic offerings in one location, try visiting the Lace Mill, whose residents are hosting poetry readings, performances and music all weekend long. And the staff artists at R & F Paints have put together an exhibition of their encaustic works at the factory.

Art Walk Kingston 2017 kicks off with a special preview at ARTBAR from 6 to 9 p.m. this Friday, September 22. This public reception will give visitors an opportunity to see selections of works from a wide variety of artists participating in this year’s Art Walk. And a mini-festival of short films and live entertainment titled Celebrate Kingston will take place in Gallo Park on the Rondout waterfront from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday. Online and print maps are available to guide visitors to the studios and merchants open with Art Walk Kingston special offerings. For links and more info, visit www.facebook.com/artwalkkingston.

Celebrate Kingston with short ﬁlms on the Rondout

Can’t get out during the weekend afternoons to check out the open studios of Art Walk Kingston? Here’s a fun way to participate on Saturday evening, September 23 from 7 to 9 p.m., and it’s absolutely free: Stephen Blauweiss of Blauweiss Films, maker of the historical documentary Lost Rondout: A Story of Urban Removal, plays host to an event in T. R. Gallo Park on the Strand. It’s called Celebrate Kingston and will include screenings of clips from current films in progress, all of them about the city and its characters. “We’ll be showing a piece on Kingston’s Model Train Club, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year; a film about recently deceased Pauline Oliveros on a trip to South Korea; a current look at the emerging Midtown Arts District; a short film about local personality Uncle Willy and African American boxer Billy Costello and more,” says Blauweiss. Celebrate Kingston will include a presentation on local photographers Gene Dauner and Mickey Mathis, who took thousands of photos of Kingston in the 1960s and ‘70s before many buildings were demolished, and a “Then & Now” slideshow. Also on the program will be live performances by local musicians and the Center for Creative Education’s Energy Dance Company. For more

In a poignant turn, Upstate Films in Rhinebeck had scheduled its sneakpeak viewing of Lucky, a new documentary about the beloved actor Harry Dean Stanton, well before the eccentric film-industry outsider passed away last week. The film marks the directorial debut of acclaimed character actor John Carroll Lynch. It is, the advance press says, “at once a love letter to the life and career of Harry Dean Stanton as well as a meditation on mortality, loneliness, spirituality and human connection.” Upstate Films previews Lucky in recognition of Art House Theater Day. Lucky will be shown on Sunday, September 24 at 8:15 p.m. Upstate Films is located at 6415 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck. For more information, visit http://upstatefilms.org.

Chin perform together under the name The River Flows Two Ways, developing material that is generally Modernist and often experimental. On Sunday, September 24, the pair teams with another musician, Katie Down, for an unconventional pastmeets-present celebration of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, with a combination of music and movements at the Gomez Mill House in Marlboro. Traditional Sephardic Jewish melodies and New Year’s customs meet with contemporary dance, music and performance practices in a performance titled “New Year, New World.” The program begins at 1 p.m. The Gomez Mill House is located at 11 Mill House Road in Marlboro.

Civilian Conservation Corps talk in Rosendale on Wednesday The Rosendale Library hosts “Nature’s New Deal: The Great Depression and Franklin Roosevelt in New York’s Hudson Valley,” a multimedia presentation by Neil M. Maher, public scholar at the New York Council for the Humanities. Maher examines the origins of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the height of the Great Depression, under the leadership of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. New Deal programs provided jobs for tens of thousands of unemployed New Yorkers. Its impacts on both the natural environment and local communities of the Hudson Valley reflect Roosevelt’s commitment to his constituents, and seeded our contemporary environmental movement. “Nature’s New Deal” takes place on Wednesday, September 27 at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. The Rosendale Public Library is located at 264 Main Street in Rosendale. For more information, visit www.rosendalelibrary. org.

Ellen Silbergeld talks about the food industry at Vassar on Monday Ellen Silbergeld, author of Chickenizing Farms and Food, examines how the food we eat is shaped by industrial practices, veterinary practices, government regulatory agencies, superbugs, worker safety, food safety and food security. An expert on the science and policy of food production, Silbergeld speaks on the subject of “How We Got the Agriculture We Deserve” at Vassar College’s Rockefeller Hall, Room 200 on Monday, September 25 at 5:30 p.m. Silbergeld is a professor of Environmental Health Sciences, Epidemiology and Health Policy and Management at Johns Hopkins University’s Bloomberg School of Public Health.

EVENT

Music as muse Kingston’s Beverly Lounge screens Paul Clipson's lyrical 16mm ﬁlms on Saturday

nce a month, the Beverly Lounge – the relaxed and unclassifiable corner bar and restaurant in Midtown Kingston – hosts a special event. For instance, Jonathan Richmond performed there to a sold-out crowd, and Jon Beacham, a resident of the Shirt Factory who owns his own letterpress, has curated screenings of experimental films. This Saturday, September 23, Beverly bartender Drew Piraino will follow up, hosting a showing of short 16mm films by San Francisco-based filmmaker Paul Clipson, titled “Events in Shadow.” Clipson, who works as a projectionist at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art – he also makes video installations and drawings – has shown his Super 8 and 16mm films at festivals and sound events throughout the world, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the New York Film Festival and the Cinémathèque Française. Inspired by musicians such as Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Lawrence English, Grouper and King Midas Sound & Fennesz, he also screens his films in collaboration with live musical performances. Works by those musicians (which tend toward the meditative and droning) as well as others form the soundtracks for the dozen-or-so films that Clipson will show at the Beverly over the course of an hour-and-a-half. Piraino has known Clipson since the 1990s, when they met through a bunch of musicians with whom the filmmaker was collaborating. One was Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, with whom Piraino still plays bass and synthesizer; Piraino has released cassettes of music by the New York-based Cantu-Ledesma on his Psychic Troubles label. Clipson works exclusively in film, which imbues his images of nature, urban structures and streets and the human figure with raw immediacy. His layering of images, which shift in speed, perspective and content, though always adhering to a montagelike logic, collapses the limitations of time and space. The movement of images without an overlay of narrative reflect on the nature of film itself. “It is selfreferential,” Clipson acknowledged. “My films are about film and filmmaking, which is a large part of the context.” The seven-minute Feeler, for example, compiled of material shot in New York, LA, Hong Kong, Brisbane, Krakow, Sidney, Napa, Oakland and San Francisco, shows, among other elements, a closeup of a woman’s face, eyes closed, then shifts to repeated staccato views of red sunsets, speeding black-and-white overhead wires, glimpses of clouds, closeups of skin, shifting coastal views, a scan of a tilted boat, outstretched hands, flowers, a blown-up leaf, stars, falling figures and the steel struts of what looks like a bridge. It’s a kind of road trip of the soul – a compendium of meditations, travel and memory that induces a dreamlike state. Music is more than just a soundtrack; it’s also Clipson’s muse and deeply informs his work. Although he has been making movies since he was a teenager, he got serious around 2002 after he met Cantu-Ledesma and was asked by Cantu-Ledesma to project his films during the musician’s band’s upcoming show. Clipson put his Super 8 images on a reel lasting 30 and 40 minutes, not knowing what the band would be playing, and was “thunderstruck” at the experience that resulted. “There was never that interplay to make the music fit the film, and that’s how I’ve worked ever since,” he said. “How the music and images mix together is kind of exciting. There’s a lot of internal rhythms in the images. It’s like an osmosis. I’m intuiting the method and process of what the musicians do, creating an architecture of imagery that in turn has a percussive and propulsive property.” Clipson’s intuitive process starts with the shooting. “I go out and film a lot, using all kinds of different approaches,” he said. “A roll of film is three minutes. I might shoot a second. It’s usually fragmentary, since this camera has a windup that only runs for 27 seconds. For a long shot, I tend to fragment the image.” His use of a zoom lens speeds up some of the footage. Each day is different, depending on the way that he’s feeling and the combinations of subjects that he encounters. “I might start to look at nature in the city without thinking about it, such as puddles in the rain. The reflections might suddenly strike me as interesting. I might see a figure or building in the reflection, and suddenly I’m just going to focus on that for a few minutes or hours, or I go back a few times. Then, when I go to another thing, I might have that tug with reflections when I start looking at nature and see commonality between the urban and natural setting. When I put a

PAUL CLIPSON

figure into an environment, a story just follows. With very little, you can suggest a lot.” A lot of the editing happens when he shoots. “I film as if I’m performing. If I’m filming a river, I start to intuitively respond to a kind of internal rhythm of how I see things in nature, such as the flickering reflections on the surface – which are a kind of animation, almost like a sound.” People tell him that his film is about, say, global warming, “but I wasn’t thinking about that. The subject could be there, however, because we’re all thinking and dreaming about it. I’m more interested in the latent potential meaning, rather than a specific idea. I like that ambiguity: Just as the music doesn’t specify, rather it creates an environment you respond emotionally to.” Spontaneity is built into his process. “I like a poetic rhyming with a sense of chance, like a skipping stone that changes the trajectory but continues the thread.” He’ll shift from black-and-white to color and back again, and a lot of the expressiveness “has to do with subtleties of movement.” Film is expensive, but Clipson is hooked on the medium. “It’s very beautiful, and I’ve never gotten over it, in a way. It’s like a first love,” he said. “I’ve become really sensitive and appreciative of its tactile quality, and all of its problems are of interest to me.” The difficulties of working with film “create a sense of performance, of danger and the possibility of loss” – should the film not be loaded in the camera correctly or the light meter be off, for example. The digital medium “is extremely helpful and convenient, but as a filmmaker I don’t find it more worthy than the danger of shooting with film. If something is not working, you have to deal with it, and there’s a charge if the images come out. Somehow you survived something, which keeps it alive.” Being present to project his films is also important to his art. “Films are very fragile. They can scratch and jump. There’s a real danger I could damage the film, which creates more of a visceral potential for the audience.” The projection becomes a kind of performance, which also has the perq of enabling him to travel and visit various places around the world. “This brings it back, the same way someone is playing a guitar or synthesizer onstage,” said Clipson. “The actual film should be there, too – not just a representation.” In November, Clipson’s headed to the Netherlands for a festival, and of course he’ll be toting his camera and film. “I want to have that record of the unusualness of finding yourself in a place you’re unfamiliar with,” he said. Conversely, “That discovery of the unknown could be outside your window. Anything can look abstract.” In October, the Beverly will host a silent horror-film screening with live music by Matthew Cullen and Jeff Mercel, members of Ultraam, a Kingston band that describes its music as “free-improvising, psychedelic, noise-rock, spazz-jazz.” In November there will be a BSP-sponsored performance by Eleanor Friedburger of the Fiery Furnaces. The Beverly is open Tuesday through Sunday from 5 p.m. to midnight. A full menu is available from 5 to 10 p.m. (11 p.m. on weekends), and $3 draft beer and $5 margaritas and whiskey sours are served during Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m. – Lynn Woods

MOVIE

NIKO TAVERNISE | PARAMOUNT PICTURES

Jennifer Lawrence stars with Javier Bardem, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer in Darren Aronofsky's mother!

At home with Yahweh and Gaia Aronofsky â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother! escalates quickly into metaphoric mayhem

nless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a particular fan of the genre, choosing to go out to see a horror movie two weeks in a row might seem like a bit of overkill. But hey, summer just ended, evenings are getting darker and Halloween decorations have long since shoved back-to-school items off the drugstore shelves; this would be the most appropriate time of year for such an indulgence. Fortunately, It and mother! have little in common once you scratch the surface of Darren Aronofskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest opus even slightly. I was much more impressed by mother! but your mileage definitely may vary. Both films largely unspool in creepy old houses in dire need of renovation and haunted by malevolent forces. But mother! is a whole different animal from the usual chiller thriller, despite the obvious visual homages to classic antecedents like Roman Polanskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Repulsion. Many viewers going into the cinema expecting spooks and psycho killers to pop out of those walls that turn to pulsing membranes in a characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hallucinations are walking out again in a huff once they figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually going on â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is to say, Allegory with a capital A. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their loss, because mother! is an extraordinarily well-crafted headlong plunge into weirdness, even after the symbolism clunks into place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an

exceedingly difficult movie to sit through (for introverts especially), because the camera â&#x20AC;&#x201C; nearly always close-in and somewhat shaky â&#x20AC;&#x201C; insists that we endure the same sense of invasion and disrespect that keeps escalating for the Jennifer Lawrence character (identified only as mother! in the credits). Scary home-invasion stories, especially with female protagonists, can arguably always be interpreted as metaphors for feeling under psychological or sexual attack; but the mayhem in this one goes way, way over the top. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relentless, especially in the second half, and definitely not for the squeamish. That being said, some viewers who relish slasher movies uncomplicated by philosophy will resent mother! for what the director is clearly trying to tell us about our home planet being under siege, rationalized by the narratives of patriarchal religion. The biblical parallels are neither subtle nor held long in suspense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the point where mentioning them in a review seems like no spoiler at all, really. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even glanced at the cast list on IMDb, you already know that all the characters are identified as archetypes rather than names. And only Javier Bardemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s once-successful blocked

writer, Him, is entitled to an upper-case initial: dead giveaway. Ed Harris plays man, Michelle Pfeiffer woman, Domhnall Gleeson oldest son, Brian Gleeson younger brother (all are wonderful, especially the venomous Pfeiffer) et cetera. Got there yet? Good, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get stuck there, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, meaningwise. Part of the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intellectual juice lies in the fact that its metaphoric heft functions on multiple levels: The critics who see it as really being about the price of artistic fame, in terms of loss of privacy, are not wrong either. Nor are those who think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about deeply ingrained male and female approaches to relationships. Neither are those literary types who

spotted allusions to Charlotte Perkins Gilmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little gem of Victorian feminist paranoia, The Yellow Wallpaper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pretentiousâ&#x20AC;? is a word being tossed around a lot by the movieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detractors, but deftness of execution trumped preachiness by a long mile in my experience. I thought it was a gift. I walked out of the theater dearly wishing that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d not seen it alone, because I immediately wanted to discuss it with someone. Film school classes should have a field day with mother! in the future. They may even enshrine it as a classic. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Frances Marion Platt

TASTE Holey of holeys It’s apple cider doughnut time in the Hudson Valley

een apple-picking yet, or are you waiting for your favorite niche variety to ripen? I like to hold out for the types of especially tasty eating apple that can only be obtained for a couple of weeks out of the year, and only if you happen to live in orchard country – Stayman Winesap and Northern Spy. Apple time is also cider time. Drink it ice-cold, or hot mulled with whole spices; cut it with seltzer for a refresher, or mix it into an appletini. Pour some into the bottom of the pan next time you’re making pork or duck and spoon the resulting sauce over the finished roast. It’ll never taste better than the cider that you can get right now at your local farmstand. But what’s that on the counter at that same farmstand, enticing us with its cinnamon/nutmeg scent? Ah, now there’s a true jewel of the harvest season, and a special perq that we get for putting up with the hard winters of the Northeast: the noble cider doughnut. What will it be: rolled in sugar crystals, or pristinely plain? Have you found your favorite source yet? I’m not going to take sides, though one knowledgeable friend highly recommends the cider doughnuts at Saunderskill Farms in Accord and another those at Minard's Family Farm in Clintondale. One could easily spend a weekend in these parts on a cider doughnut crawl, trekking from farmers’ market to orchard to bakery in order to taste-test each secret recipe. Every one is a little different: Davenport’s are a little crunchy on the outside and

You may prefer yours oozing grease – the Dutch settlers who introduced them to the Hudson Valley called them olykoeks or “oily cakes,” after all – or on the drier th side. Tastes vary, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried one that wasn’t y u m m y. A n d we have all this glorious autumnal weather coming up to hike off all those calories. Doughnuts and other fried-dough sweets like paçzki, beignets, zeppole, funnelcakes,

buñuelos, sopaipillas, jalebi and so on have been found in cuisines all over the world for many centuries. Tradition has it that the hole in the doughnut was invented in the 19th century by a New England sea captain named Hanson Gregory. He claimed in his memoirs to have cut out the first such hole with the round lid from a pepper tin, but the preferred tale seems to be that he jammed a doughnut onto the spoke of a ship’s wheel in order not to drop it whilst navigating in a storm. Captain Gregory’s mother Elizabeth is credited with coining the term “doughnut,” as a result of having literally stuck walnuts in the centers of her creations in an effort to have them cook through more evenly (the practical

purpose of the doughnut hole when not steering a ship, by the way). It wasn’t until the 1920s that the holemaking process was automated. A Russian immigrant named Adolph Levitt was hawking doughnuts in Manhattan’s theater district, and his products became so popular that he was soon managing a chain of bakeries. Not only did Levitt invent the first known doughnut-making machine, but the company he founded, the Doughnut Corporation of America, is credited with the first citation of a sweet cider donut becoming available commercially, in 1951. Nowadays, the internet provides us with dozens of different cider doughnut recipes; most of them are “cake” doughnuts, made with baking soda and/or baking powder, as opposed to a “raised” doughnut, made with yeast. Cider is typically the primary liquid ingredient, occasionally mixed with water or even buttermilk. Often the cider is reduced by boiling to a thicker consistency before adding to the dough mix; Bon Appétit actually recommends the substitution of apple butter. But why go to the trouble of making your own this time of year, if you live in mid-Hudson orchard country and have a bewildering number of places available nearby to pick up some cider doughnuts still fragrant and warm from the deep-fryer?

Slated to be completed this November, the Hudson River Skywalk on the Rip Van Winkle Bridge will include “bump-outs”: scenic viewing platforms ten feet deep and 50 feet long. The new pedestrian pathway will allow visitors to walk over the river from one major cultural landmark in the area to another: a direct connection between the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill and the Olana State Historic Site, just south of Hudson.

Creative connection Special events this Sunday at Cole House & Olana sites during inaugural Skywalk Arts Festival

he Rip Van Winkle Bridge that connects Columbia and Greene Counties has had a pedestrian walkway on the south side of the cantilevered structure since it opened in 1935. One of just three pedestrian crossings over the Hudson River (the others being the Mid-Hudson Bridge and Walkway over the Hudson, linking Dutchess and Ulster Counties), the pathway delivers panoramic views of the Catskills from approximately 150 feet over the river. But with a scant fourfoot width, the Rip Van Winkle’s milelong pedestrian sidewalk has not been the most user-friendly way to take in the sights. That will soon change with completion of the Hudson River Skywalk, a $5.4 million project (paid for through grants) that will widen the pathway on the Rip Van Winkle and include the building of “bump-outs”: scenic viewing platforms ten feet deep and 50 feet long. But the most intriguing part of the project, perhaps, is that when it’s completed – scheduled for November, at this point – the new pedestrian pathway over the Hudson will allow visitors to walk over the river from one major cultural landmark in the area to another: a direct connection between the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill and the Olana State Historic Site across the river in Greenport, just south of Hudson. The two sites will celebrate the progress made in the beginning phases of the project by collaborating with the Bridge Authority (builders of the Skywalk) and Historic Bridges of the Hudson Valley on a new festival that they plan to hold annually. The inaugural Skywalk Arts

Festival will be held on Sunday, September 24 from 1 to 4 p.m. Olana and the Cole site will each host special events. Cole’s home and studios will be open to the public with free admission to two special exhibitions and two permanent installations. The annual Community Day celebration will be held that day, which includes games, demonstrations, live music and family-friendly activities. There will be hands-on art lessons for all ages and the opportunity to take a look at the landscape through a 19th-century camera obscura. Refreshments will be available for purchase from Pippy’s hot dog truck. The fifth annual Community Day exhibition event, “Picturing the Sublime 2017,” will display works made by artists of all ages and abilities who were asked to follow in the footsteps of the 19thcentury Hudson River School landscape painters and create an original work of art responding to nature. The paintings will be available for purchase during the festival. Adult entries will be priced at $100, the kids’ category at $25. (Early arrival is suggested to get the best selection.) A portion of all sales will benefit the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. The exhibition on view in the main house will be “Mind upon Nature: Thomas Cole’s Creative Process,” featuring his paintings and sketches. “Sanford R. Gifford in the Catskills” will be shown in the New Studio; and “Kiki Smith: From the Creek” will offer a solo exhibit in conjunction with the series “Open House: Contemporary Art in Conversation with Cole” and “The Parlors,” an immersive experience combining technology and meticulous restoration of Cole’s interior

designs in his 1815 home. The Olana State Historic Site will offer its regular schedule of landscape and house tours (guided and self-guided) during the Festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Olana was home to Frederic Edwin Church, a student of Thomas Cole. His 250-acre landscape with a Persianinspired house at its summit embraces 360-degree views of the Hudson River Valley and Catskill Mountains. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Olana being open to the public. The current special exhibition on view is “Overlook: Teresita Fernández Confronts Frederic Church at Olana,” a collaboration with the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros (CPPC) in the Sharp Family Gallery (located in the main house), in which artist Teresita Fernández responds to work by Church and his contemporaries inspired by the cultures and landscapes that they experienced during their 19th-century Latin American travels. Visitors have the opportunity to explore Fernández’s perspective and respond to her provocative installation. The interactive sculpture Penetrable by the late Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto will be installed on a prominent scenic viewpoint in Olana’s designed landscape for the duration of the exhibition. The Olana Partnership and the Ancram Opera House will present Performing Olana: Frederic Church Living His Art, with performances at 2, 4 and 6 p.m. (The program premieres prior to the festival on Friday, September 22 at 6 p.m., with additional performances on Saturday at 2, 4 and 6 p.m.) The dramatic work draws inspiration from Frederic Church’s paintings, letters, family life and the

celebrated landscape, and is presented as an immersive theater experience in which performer and audience journey together into Church’s art. Tickets cost $15 for the general public, $10 for members of the Olana Partnership and $40 for families of up to five people. Limited parking is available at both Olana and the Cole site, which are just a three-mile drive apart. Visitors to the Thomas Cole property who wish to walk on the completed portion of the Skywalk (not yet connected to Olana) will find signs directing them on a short walk through the neighborhood to enter the pedestrian walkway. Eventually the Olana side will take visitors off the walkway through a parklike setting where they can access the site directly by Olana’s historic carriage roads. (Visitors to the Cole site will also have direct access, without the walk through the neighborhood.) Visitors going directly to the Rip Van Winkle Bridge (RVWB) Park on the river side of the RVWB administration building in Catskill will find temporary signs set up for the day, directing guests between the bridge and the historic sites. Signage giving historical information will be placed along the walkway so that visitors can learn about the area and the various historic sites. – Sharyn Flanagan Skywalk Arts Festival, Sunday, September 24, 1-4 p.m., free, Thomas Cole National Historic Site, 218 Spring Street, Catskill, (518) 943-7465, www.thomascole.org; Olana State Historic Site, 5720 Route 9G, Hudson, (518) 828-0135, www.olana.org.

STAGE Leaping to a new level Catskill’s Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts partners with Brooklyn Academy of Music

tarting next summer, fans of the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM)’s cutting-edge dance, music and theatrical performances will no longer have to trudge down to Brooklyn. Next summer, three artists participating in BAM’s 2018 Next Wave Festival, David Neumann, Kimberly Bartosik and Kaneza Schaal, will each receive a $10,000 stipend to develop, rehearse and present their work at Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts in Catskill. The three works by the artists – Neumann’s Because Science, Bartosik’s I Hunger for You (both are working titles) and Schaal’s Jack & Jill – will premiere in the village before being presented at BAM in the fall, meaning that Catskill will likely be host to some of the most exciting creative productions in the performing arts world. The residencies and performances are the result of a new collaboration between Lumberyard and BAM. Based in New York City, Lumberyard Contemporary Performing Arts is a nonprofit organization that offers residencies and space to performing artists for the development of new work. In 2015, it relocated from suburban Washington, DC to Catskill as a way to lower its costs and help revitalize the historic-but-depressed

Hudson Valley locale. Lumberyard purchased four buildings – part of a former lumberyard – on the Catskill Creek waterfront, and in November will begin construction

of a 5,500-square-foot theater in the cinderblock shell of a former garage. The theater, whose construction is being funded in part by a $5 million loan from RSF Social Finance (in addition to an Empire State Development grant and other sources), will be used to preview shows created by resident artists in the summer, which will open in New York for the fall season. “It will be a flexible black-box space with all the technical capabilities needed to reshape the space to conform to whatever theater the work is going to next,” said Lumberyard’s executive and artistic director, Adrienne Willis. Because the theater, which will seat from 200 to 400, will not open until the summer of 2019, next summer’s three BAM resident artists will likely premiere their work at various performing spaces in the area, such as Club Helsinki, the Bridge Street Theater and the Opera House in nearby Hudson, according to Willis. Meanwhile, Lumberyard is launching an afterschool program for Greene County school kids this fall in a collaboration with Catskill Community Center, fulfilling its parallel mission of bringing arts education to the community. Lumberyard Young Performers, a new series of free weekly afterschool workshops in the performing arts, kicked off in the Catskill Community Center’s gym on September 18. Every

other Monday throughout the school year, Melanie George, a dance educator, choreographer and scholar who is a full-time employee of Lumberyard (she formerly directed the dance program at American University), will teach two classes: one for kids age 13 to 16 (at 4 p.m.) and one for kids aged 9 to 12 (at 5 p.m.), on movement, choreography, jazz dance and performance appreciation. New York-based performing artists with extensive teaching experience will travel up to Catskill on the alternate Mondays to teach a variety of workshops, including acting, puppetry, clowning, hip hop and African diasporic dance. The students will create choreography of their own toward the end of the school year, culminating in a performance at the Catskill Community Center next June. Once Lumberyard’s campus is fully open in 2019, the students’ work will premiere in the new theater and the Young Performers’ workshops will be expanded to include stage-managing, setbuilding and design, lighting design and tech work. Besides the new theater, the Lumberyard campus will include housing for 20 resident artists, an artists’ lounge, administrative offices and a public courtyard. “We’re keeping the original lumber racks, to retain the feel of the lumberyard,” said Willis. Such details preserve the functionalism of the site, appropriate since “this is a place where art is made.” She said that the organization plans to rent out a portion of the campus to a restaurant or other appropriate commercial use. In the off season, the theater could be rented for film or TV shoots, and the organization is also considering rentals for private events, such as retreats or weddings. Lumberyard recently dropped its former companion moniker, American

ALMANAC WEEKLY

September 21, 2017 Dance Institute, because the name “was misleading,” said Willis. “We do all forms of contemporary performing arts, including music, theater and performance art,” as reflected in its association with BAM. She curates each season, a process that involves “having a lot of open dialogue with artists about their presentations in New York City and the rest of the country. I want to know what work is premiering in the fall and whether it needs extra work.” She noted that the organization started out as a large dance school; the residencies and premieres evolved because “the artists wanted to stay longer and use the theater.” Although Willis is based in New York City, she noted that Lumberyard’s director of production just bought a house in Catskill, and another staff member lives in Hudson. “We love Catskill,” she said. “They are the perfect partner for this new venture.” – Lynn Woods

Stephen King and Owen King talk at Bard on Wednesday

Each semester, world-famous fantasy/horror novelist Neil Gaiman spends a month teaching a couple of classes at Bard College. And each spring and fall, he treats Hudson Valley fans to a casual Conversation with some star of geek culture onstage in the Sosnoff Theater at the Fisher Center. Past examples have proven fascinating glimpses into the creative lives of such personages as Laurie Anderson, Art Spiegelman, Audrey Niffenegger and Armistead Maupin. But Gaiman, always a busy guy, is in high demand these days, following the critical and popular success of Season One of the Starz TV adaptation of his novel American Gods. At the moment he’s tied up in production as showrunner of Amazon’s mini-series based on his hilarious 1990 collaboration with the late Terry Pratchett, Good Omens. Those who approve of authors taking an active hand in the process of bringing their novels to the screen will agree that it’s probably best that Gaiman stay on-task at the moment. But that absence left Bard in the quandary of trying to find someone with a comparably visible literary profile to stand in for Gaiman for the fall installment of the In Conversation series. And the college has risen to the challenge in spades: On

Wednesday, September 27 at 7 p.m., Stephen King – one of the few authors in the world of speculative fiction who can out-superstar Bard’s superstar-inresidence – will interview his son Owen King about the creepy novel that they just wrote together, Sleeping Beauties. Or perhaps it’s the other way around, but no matter. Here’s what Deadline: Hollywood had to say about the new novel, released this month by Simon & Schuster/Scribner: “Sleeping Beauties takes place in the near future in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women’s prison. Something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoonlike gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent. And while they sleep they go to another place. Meanwhile, the men are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease.” Reporting that Anonymous Content had already acquired the TV rights to Sleeping Beauties, the Washington Post’s Ron Charles dubbed the tale Orange Is the New Black Death. With the new movie version of It being such a huge current hit in cinemas, its author is a hotter property than ever and an impressive “get” for the folks at the Fisher Center and co-presenters Oblong Books & Music. Both he and his son have strong ties to the region, however: Stephen King has long been a regular visitor to the Mohonk Mountain House, which many locals believe to have partially inspired the haunted resort hotel in The Shining. And Owen King apparently came along on enough of those visits to fall in love with the area: He’s a New Paltz resident now. Nonetheless, this is a rare opportunity, and tickets, priced at $40 (which includes a copy of Sleeping Beauties), will undoubtedly sell out fast.

Ageless Wonders plus a 106-year-old barber in Beacon It creeps up on you, seniorhood. As for me, I continued to call myself a “midlifer” well into…uh, let’s just say that I suddenly noticed that friends in their 40s and 50s were talking about midlife as their domain, while I’m old enough to be their way-older sister. Or mother. Well beyond the midpoint of my lifespan. It was an abrupt surprise to realize this. While ageism in our youth-oriented culture is insidious, causing even the most positiveminded of us to delude ourselves into the notion that we will never get “old,” there are signs denoting a shift in the

paradigm. And they encourage embracing the benefits and wisdom that might come with aging. Comedian and writer Mindy Fradkin, also known as Princess WOW, has addressed this phenomenon in a onewoman musical dramedy she calls Ageless Wonders: When Did I Become a Senior? “I was writing another one-woman show a couple of years ago about my life story, about being a victim of my family,” she says. “It was getting heavy, I was working

at this job that was absolutely awful and I was really in a bad place. I just started writing this show and started getting happy. “I usually don’t talk about my age, because I’m a Christian Scientist, and we believe we’re ageless and eternal. The thing is that entering this new club we’re in is weird in a lot of ways. People start talking to you differently. You work with people in their 20s, and you’re older than their parents. You’re in this new world, this new reality with wrinkles in your neck – it’s so bizarre. When I turned 61, it was strange. I guess this new show just started coming out of me: ageism in America and how I’m dealing with it.” Fradkin has already launched one movement meant to make a difference in the world. The Smile Revolution raises

9 awareness to the healing power of a genuine smile. With Ageless Wonders, she will shed light on the benefits of entering the club of senior-wonderhood. “I think it will be very healing and helpful for people. I’ve done a lot of research, so it’s ‘edutainment.’ We’re kind of brainwashed, our generation was. We thought, ‘Don’t trust anyone over 30,’ and so you have beliefs about older people. Depending on the profession, people only hire people who look young, and a lot of places are run by managers who are in their 20s. In certain countries, it’s not like this. They respect their elders. I’m talking about ageism in America, how we’re treated in this country and how you deal with it.” The one-hour performance features a catchy original score written by Fradkin and Roland Mousaa (she calls him her “wasband”). She has also added videos, stills and storytelling. “In the spiritual realm, like in quantum physics, there is no time. So really, we are ageless wonders, and that’s the point of my show. You can still smile with crows’ feet and silver hair, even with age discrimination being rampant in our country. You can look forward to spiritual growth, maturity, more wisdom and self-acceptance that will come.” Presented by Princess WOW Productions and directed by Jessica Lynn Johnson, Ageless Wonders will end with the introduction of Anthony Mancinelli, a 106-year-old special guest. “He drives, works full-time as a barber, doesn’t wear glasses or take medicine. He’s in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. He’s changed my life. After being with him, I get that we’re not old.” – Ann Hutton Ageless Wonder: When Did I Become a Senior?

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23

wonder what kinds of questions are on your mind about my Stage IV breast cancer experience: diagnoses, treatments, loss, endof-life, appointments, mint chocolate chip milkshakes (#obsessed), daily life et cetera? Here are some questions that I’ve received from friends: What exactly does this mean that the cancer has metastasized in your brain? Where in the brain? How does having a cancer blob in your brain affect your body, like are you having headaches, trouble drawing with your hand, twitching in your toes? Have your cravings for certain foods altered as the cancer spreads to different areas? How are you discussing all of this with your children? From my initial diagnosis of breast cancer, I learned that it had already metastasized, or spread, from my left breast to my bones and lungs, placing me at Stage IV. Perhaps you’re thinking, “Wait a second – is that bone cancer or lung cancer or breast cancer?” It’s still

breast cancer, since that was the point of origin, and the bone and lung “mets” are the same type of cells as my breast cancer. Metastasis is Monopoly, constantly seeking new real estate until it eventually owns the board/body, or at least enough of it to win. As a blood disease, my breast cancer cells are circulating, wanting to grow the empire by snatching up St. James Place and Atlantic Avenue via my bones, liver and now brain: Boardwalk! I learned about my brain tumors by experiencing the same types of symptoms I’ve heard described for concussions: nausea, vomiting, headaches and dizziness. An MRI scan of my brain confirmed that tumors abound in this cabeza – mostly on the left side, a few small ones on the right. I don’t feel the tumors, and I am unaware of their existence until I feel those concussionlike symptoms again.

Sometimes I’m slightly tippy getting up, or I can’t process information quite as quickly as I’m used to; but the tumors are invisible from the outside, and I don’t have any pain. My cravings dramatically increased during the steroid portion of my brain tumor treatment, and I ate practically nonstop for the first time in months. Suddenly, my schedule was all wacked out because of all of the time spent eating eating eating – and then, of course, eliminating. I became obsessed with whole milk for some reason, and I got busted by my daughter for chugging directly out of the carton [hangs head]. The way we told our kids about my brain tumors was the same way we share with them after each appointment: We just gave them a straightforward update. “Mom is feeling better from the new medicine and radiation, but the cancer has spread to her brain, like a hostile takeover. She’s also hungry all the time from the steroids right now, so watch your plates!” My son went to retrieve a drink, and I volunteered to watch his dinner so the dog wouldn’t get it. But then I ate it. So, that may have brought up some trust issues (all good, now!). One of my coping strategies is to honor each new cancer experience by treating myself in some way (my husband and I don’t necessarily see eye-to-eye on this particular coping strategy). This time, I chose sandals for the new brain mets, and a Thirty-One totebag for radiation treatment. I don’t really have much

Science on the River at Norrie Point

uring a recent Bannerman’s Island tour, I learned that Henry Hudson originally named his now-eponymous waterway the North River. Well, call it what you like; here are two cool events that are all about the Hudson! Science on the River at the Norrie Point Environmental Center is a chance to celebrate the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hudson River Research Reserve’s 35th anniversary! And how sweet that the traditional gift for a 35th anniversary is coral! But since we leave coral in the sea where it belongs, you can simply bring the gift of yourself and your family. On Saturday, September 23 from 2 to 5 p.m., participants will enjoy seeing birds of prey, canoeing the tidal marsh, doing science demonstrations and fishing with provided gear; and there are even special hands-on activities for kids. Admission is free and open to the public of all ages. The Norrie Point Environmental Center is located at 256 Norrie Point Way in Staatsburg.

MUSIC Shemekia Copeland at the Falcon this Saturday

MUSIC

COWBOY JUNKIES TO PLAY HELSINKI HUDSON Blues vocalist Shemekia Copeland, a three-time Grammy nominee and daughter of legendary blues guitarist Johnny Copeland, is a regular performer at the Falcon at Marlboro. Such is the company that the Falcon keeps, where an endless stream of notables, legends and the next generation pass through the two venues at Tony Falco’s shrine of great music and local beer, seven nights a week. Copeland’s most recent record, the Grammy-nominated Outskirts of Love, is hardly a traditional contemporary blues vocal record. Raw, funky and with some experimental sonics here and there, the album was produced and largely co-written by Oliver Wood of the Wood Brothers. Shemekia performs at the Falcon on Saturday, September 23 at 7 p.m. There is no cover charge, but donation is encouraged in no uncertain terms. The Falcon is located at 1348 Route 9W in Marlboro.

High Kings play Beacon’s Towne Crier this Friday

What is it about Celtic music and reverb? Of all the world’s varieties of folk music, few, aside from religious chant, seem to lend themselves as congenially to profound ambiance and the sonic suggestion of spiritual space. While the Chieftains might play it relatively dry, so many of the most successful Celtic crossover artists – Enya, Clannad, Celtic Woman and more – situate their essentially traditional melodies (why mess with one the greatest melodic reservoirs of them all?) in a high-sheen production environment characterized by spacious, warm, larger-than-life reverb.

here’s no overestimating the influence of the Cowboy Junkies on the aesthetics of "low", leading, decades after they rocked the world with whispers, directly to the phenomenon of dreampop and to the genre that I hereby deem closet folk (think early Iron and Wine). Appraised in context with such peers as Portishead and Mazzy Star, Margo Timmins and the band recalibrated the dynamics of rock, and their path remains evergreen with those with the courage for quiet and slow. Funny that their latest, a quite strong 2016 roots-rock spaceout called, almost too descriptively, Notes Falling Slow, begins with wrenched squalls of fuzzed-out electric guitar. They are, of course, spacey and strangely discomfiting squalls; and when a tremolo-guitar arpeggio takes over the carriage of the song, the fuzzed electric immediately becomes what I always knew it would be: peripheral, a fringe disturbance. But on Notes Falling Slow, the Cowboy Junkies do in fact display a higher gear dynamically. Many parts rock unquestionably, though the ascents are slow. It is a beautifully recorded album, long and rich and patient as a glacier. It’s a sure-handed reclamation of this band’s pervasive influence. The Cowboy Junkies perform at Club Helsinki in Hudson on Thursday, September 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $50 and $60. For tickets and additional information, visit www.helsinkihudson.com. Club Helsinki is located at 405 Columbia Street in Hudson. – John Burdick

The High Kings are, in melody, instrumentation and subject matter, maybe not reverent, but certainly compliant traditionalists. But in production values, they cleave to the path of Enya: utterly enhanced space somewhere between Heaven and within. Their wildly successful 2008 eponymous debut sounds like the Clancys singing inside a magic cloud. It is fantastical and traditional all at once. The High Kings perform at the Towne Crier Café in Beacon on Friday, September 22 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 at the door. The Towne Crier Café is located at 379 Main Street in Beacon. For more information, visit www.townecrier.com. – John Burdick

Debra Kaye’s Fantasy premieres this Saturday in Beacon

MUSIC

Graham Nash plays Bethel Woods

ery few bands have ever comfortably supported three songwriters, and even two can be a fractious challenge. Consider, then, the rare case of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young – not only four songwriters in one outfit, but four established ones who had written hits with their previous bands: Buffalo Springfield (Stills and Young), the Byrds (Crosby) and the Hollies (Nash). Imagine the wrestling over vinyl bandwidth. Well, they didn’t last very long, did they? Young was the last in and the first out, and CSN was able to distribute songwriting bandwidth more sustainably, though Neil horned back in on several occasions. Each had a role. The robust Stills was the most likely rocker. Crosby specialized in ambient art songs. Graham Nash wrote a lot of what you might call olive branches: songs that trod the fine line of treacle in order to give the audience a sweet treat after a lengthy Crosby number. But it is not all “Our House” and “Teach Your Children.” Nash has written songs of real substance and imagination over the years, including the lengthy, multi-part acid-trip document “Cathedral” from the group’s eponymous 1977 record, on which Nash also penned the hit “Just a Song Before I Go.” Graham Nash’s busy itinerary of the last few years evinces a hale veteran of the ’60s with a lot left to say – in books and in records. In 2016, Nash released This Path Tonight, the dubious title track of which sounds rather like a geriatric Survivor outtake. But then the record forthwith becomes a really lucid and lovely collection of arty chamber-folk with a dab of grinding rock. Good thing the title track didn’t scare me off. Graham Nash makes an oddly intimate appearance at the Event Gallery at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Sunday, September 24 at 8 p.m. Prices for tickets to see the two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee range from $66 to $106. For more information, visit www.bethelwoodscenter.org. The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is located at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel. – John Burdick

Flying Machine on Sunday, September 24 at 8 p.m. at Colony in Woodstock. This will not be a stripped-down affair. Opening acts are the great Woodstock singer/ songwriter Paul McMahon, Adam Fisher and the Clear Light Ensemble. Special guests include Eileen O’Hare, producer Julie Last, reed player Peter Buettner and album contributors David Rothenberg, Harvey Sorgen, Jesse Murphy and Timothy Hill. The suggested donation is $20. All record proceeds will be given to Earthjustice, “because the Earth needs a good lawyer.” Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock.

Members of Hothouse Flowers perform in Red Hook this Thursday Best-known as an actress and as a former member of the international chart-topping ensemble Celtic Woman, Lisa Lambe now steers her career away from the big stage/New Age production values of Celtic Woman in an earthier collaboration with several members of the legendary Irish rock group the Hothouse Flowers. Comparisons have been drawn to the work of Alison Kraus and Norah Jones. The Solas An Lae School of American Irish Dance presents Lisa Lambe with Fiachna Brownian and Peter O Toole from the Hothouse Flowers on Thursday, September 22 at 7:30 p.m. Admission costs $20 for adults, $10 for teens.

John Waites plays Darkside on Saturday in Poughkeepsie English-born singer/songwriter and rocker John Waite has scored hits of various sizes with the Babys, with Bad English, saving his biggest hit – “Missing You” – for his solo career. The gritty and expressive vocalist left his footprints all over the radio of the ’70s and the ’80s and remains a vibrant performer and recording artist. John Waite makes an intimate appearance on the stage of Darkside Records at 611 Dutchess Turnpike in Poughkeepsie on Saturday, September 23 at 1 p.m., on the afternoon of his evening performance at Daryl’s Place in Pawling.

of Lacuna installation. The Dance Cartel creates dances that are immersive and often participatory. Without sacrificing technical rigor or artistic ambition, they exploit the social nature of dance, developing a “fresh dance vocabulary that any Joe can get down with.” Storyboard P is an award-winning choreographer, the recipient of a Bessie Award for Best Emerging Choreographer (2015). He has performed at MassMoCA and Sadler’s Wells in London. This performance is included in the price of park admission. The Storm King Art Center is located at 1 Museum Road in New Windsor.

In 2014, the American composer and Beacon resident Debra Kaye released And So It Begins, a rather startling collection of contemporary chamber and solo music. In it, Kaye articulates a unique and personal vision of harmony, form and the sourcing of compositional material. It is tantalizingly close to tonal at times, utterly alien at others, but always executed with an exceptional lucidity and energized sense of purpose. Kaye celebrates the world premiere of her new work Fantasy for flute and piano at 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 23 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Beacon. Fantasy will be performed by flutist Carl Gutowski and pianist Akiko Sasaki and is part of a program called “Degrees of Separation” that explores the performer/ composer relationship. Other works on the program include J. S. Bach’s Sonata in A Major, BWV 1032, Copland’s Duo for Flute and Piano and Richard Wilson’s Flutations. St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is located at 15 South Avenue in Beacon. Admission to the concert is free, but donations will be accepted. A reception follows the concert.

The reading is free and open to the public. Bard College is located in Annandale-on-Hudson.

Ben Sollee to play Bearsville next Thursday

The impressive singer/songwriter, cellist and technologist Ben Sollee may have first risen to public awareness by doing his highly skilled take on “that Andrew Bird thing,” but loops are the most 2005 thing out there. Most have moved on (with Bird himself moving back and forth). Sollee’s recent live works have been rocking duets with drums, showcasing the more savage and dissonant sides of his chops. Ben Sollee returns to the Bearsville Theater on Thursday, September 28 at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $14. For tickets and additional information, visit www. bearsvilletheater.com. The Bearsville Theater is located at 291 Tinker Street in Woodstock.

Says group founder Jeff Doolit-

ALMANAC WEEKLY tle, “Certainly, in the charged political atmosphere of contemporary America, these evocative airs and melodies still have much to teach.” The Mashers draw inspiration from such luminaries of Irish music as the Clancy Brothers and such radical offshoots as the Pogues.

Colony in Woodstock hosts Two Dark Birds’ album release party Long before a single oscillation had passed my earhole, I knew that the pairing of the High Americana artist Two Dark Birds with the Woodstock-based producer/ composer/songwriter Chris Maxwell was an inspired and auspicious one. The musical math in my head, in fact, produced a record that is rather startlingly close to the one that has come to pass: Bow, the latest luminous and ambitious collection of poet-grade and quietly experimental folk music written by Steve Koester and performed by his loose assemblage of Catskill cronies. Most of the players here, many of whom you’ve heard if not heard of, earned their musical stripes elsewhere but live and work here now, forming a kind of new model collective for the post-industry music world, where you might as well live and play in the Catskills, for all anyone cares. Few, however, take on the Catskills as subject and as inspiration as directly as Koester, the Bard of Pakatakan Mountain. And yet… Bow is bookended with prayers – literal prayers written in the command syntax of beseechment: teach me, show me, help me. Funny twist, though: While the record-closing “When Morning Comes” is a conventionalized and austere piece of Appalachian (or Catskillian, or generally Eastern Seaboard) craggy mountain folk, the album opening prayer, “Dear Whoever Whoever” is anything but. Its wrenched, surreal agnosticism comes couched from the start in a strange Flamenco chromaticism. When Koester and his nylon string are eventually joined by other instruments and voices, they reinforce that harmonic and textural otherness. It’s a tonality that almost borders on non-Western, and it hovers peripherally throughout the album. It is not indigenous to the Catskills; but the mythic quests, spells and awakenings that undergird this record cannot be geographically or chronologically fixed either. Steve Koester doesn’t do anything casually. The last Two Dark Birds record, Songs for the New, was a shimmering work of chamber folk/rock with Baroque eruptions that would come out of nowhere and recede back into Koester’s basal setting of voice and guitar, the default that best suits his high character and expressively craggy singing. Bow is both more Spartan and more tense. With Maxwell, Koester has crafted a narrative and sonic environment in which anything can happen; but this time out, things are snakier and darker. The foreign elements and non-folk sounds slink in and do their work – exotic lines, queasy ether and sometimes comically incongruous sound events – and slink out. They don’t always mean you well. The album moves everso-imperceptibly from dark to light, and becomes more and more Catskills as it goes. There are no proper drums on Bow, but one of the few songs that feature percussion, “Pretty Wing,” manages to achieve a kind of soul swagger reminiscent of the Stones in early-’70s gospel/rock mode. One of the keynote ambient roots

songs, “Fathers & Sons,” evokes a similar sense of soul/folk. Bow is song cycle with undercurrents of an immanent ecospirituality and dream consciousness, but nothing like enlightenment. Lost and found, and never arriving, are key themes throughout. Waking up every day is a rebirth, but rebirth is a mournful parting from the ideal. In “First Breath,” Koester sings, “At some point, the signal is sent out that you are ready for the green tree air of the waking world, and you begin your descent” in a delightfully affected dropped-pitch voice, mildly reminiscent of Dylan circa Nashville Skyline, while the minor chord pattern evokes “Working Class Hero.” Like most great producers, Maxwell’s impact here is as notable for what he prohibits as for what he provides. While the sonic cast of characters on Bow is really rather larger and more diverse – choral at times, chamber at others, often trad/ folk and occasionally even a little synthy in a watercolor way – the deployment is strict. The focus on singer and on song is unwavering, and when the production/ arrangement flourishes do occur, they are almost invariably…a little weird: a friction, an interloper, a spooked timbre, a jarring tonality. The same aesthetic devices are used to devastating effect on Maxwell’s recent solo record Arkansas Summer, and between that and this, one begins to see the outline of a new, progressive Catskill sound of sorts. All hail! I wasn’t present at the sessions, so I can’t say for sure how much credit Maxwell gets for Koester’s vocal performances on Bow, but they are some of the most authoritative and physical of the veteran songwriter’s lengthy and prolific career. Two Dark Bird celebrates the October release of Bow with a show at Colony in Woodstock on Friday, September 29 at 8 p.m. Cassidy and the Music joins them on the bill. Tickets cost $12 in advance, $15 on the day of the show. Colony is located at 22 Rock City Road in Woodstock. For information, visit www.colonywoodstock.com. – John Burdick

Ani DiFranco to play the Bardavon

As influential for her funk- and punk- (and NOLA and Afro- and…) inflected take on singer/songwriter acoustic rock as for her rigorous selfdetermination and relentlessly energized activism, walking the talk where so many others are content merely to talk it, Ani DiFranco is simply important. She’s a lightning rod for polarized opinion as well, but that just comes with her territory. Artists as well-known for their extramusical work as for their music are prone to having their art overlooked, and that’s unfortunate, for DiFranco has remained a vital, productive and stylistically restless writer throughout most of a career that is now approaching the end of its third decade. DiFranco’s latest release Binary (released on her own Righteous Babe label) is a lively effort: street-tough as ever, rhythmically happening in ways that are current and global. Her guitar playing, always excellent, has grown new dimensions. And her spiel remains, as ever, vibrant, funny, smart and combative. Ani DiFranco performs at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie on Friday, October 6 at 8 p.m. Andrea

September 21, 2017 Gibson opens. Tickets cost $50 and $60. For tickets and additional information, visit www.bardavon.org. The Bardavon is located at 35 Market Street in Poughkeepsie. – John Burdick

Channeling Isadora Duncan & Sergei Esenin in Dancing on the Edge

Lisa Channer, who grew up in New Paltz in the 1970s in a household that was a sort of hippie arts salon, experienced an epiphany in her mid-teens as a result of reading Isadora Duncan’s autobiography. It changed her path and her life. Now she’s portraying Duncan in Dancing on the Edge, a new drama by much-anthologized playwright Adam Kraar about the brief, stormy marriage of the “mother of modern dance” to Russian Imaginist poet Sergei Esenin in the early 1920s. Dancing on the Edge had its world premiere on September 7 at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis, where Channer heads up the baccalaureate program in Performance, Theatre Arts and Dance at the University of Minnesota. The show travels back to her hometown on September 22 and 23 for two performances at McKenna Theatre on the SUNY-New Paltz campus, in a production sponsored by the Unison Arts & Learning Center. Channer’s husband and co-director at Theatre Novi Most, Vladimir Rovinsky, directs the play, which features text in both English and Russian. The choreography is by Jeanne Bresciani, artistic director of the Isadora Duncan International Institute. With Rovinsky, Channer founded Theatre Novi Most (“New Bridge”) in Minneapolis in 1998, combining European and American stage techniques and producing plays that can take years to develop and then remain in the company’s repertory indefinitely. A 2011 Fulbright fellowship enabled Channer to spend time in Russia researching Duncan and Esenin’s time together there, after which Theatre Novi Most commissioned Kraar to write the play. Duncan’s belief that “The day when Russia and America understand each other will mark the dawn of a new epoch for humanity” resonates powerfully with the Theatre’s cross-cultural mission. Performances of Dancing on the Edge will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, September 22 and 23 in McKenna Theatre on the SUNY-New Paltz campus. Tickets cost $25 general admission, $20 for Unison members, $10 for students with ID and are free for children under age 10. To order, visit http://bit.ly/2yc1v3H. – Frances Marion Platt

They’re really asking for it Having entered the infancy of their decrepitude, the erstwhile comic duo of Mikhail Horowitz & Gilles Malkine will try to stretch one more performance out of their slowly disintegrating career at 7 p.m. this Saturday, September 23 at the Arts Society of Kingston (ASK). The pair, who no longer believe that political satire is possible, let alone effective, will nevertheless make a concerted effort to prove themselves wrong (again). ASK is located at 97 Broadway in the Rondout neighborhood. Admission costs $12, $10 for ASK members. For more info, call (845) 338-0333.

NIGHT SKY

Binocular update: Secrets of the best views

orget telescopes, which most people use once or twice and then never again. Binoculars are for watching everything, day and night, and you’ll use them periodically forever. Through binoculars, the 3,000 stars visible to the naked eye on the clearest night in the Catskills jump to 30,000. Such promiscuously star-studded vistas seem to feed the human spirit. And as eclipse viewers just discovered, they’re the ideal instrument clearly to show the pink flames of nuclear fire leaping from the Sun’s edge during totality. By day, the brightness enhancement is needed for a different reason. Magnifying anything spreads out its light, so binoculars cannot make things look sevento-ten-times larger (the typical range) unless they first crank up the brightness to compensate. The end result in a good pair of binoculars is a blown-up image that is no dimmer than the world looks without them. Binoculars are rated with two numbers, as in 7x35 or 10x50. The first numeral is the magnification: simply how many times larger the object appears. The second is the diameter of the main lens in millimeters. The combination is important: You want the first number divided into the second to be at least three and ideally four or more. Tiny “shirt-pocket” models are often fraudulently advertised as being “brighter and more powerful” than standard binoculars. But these pocket models are actually much dimmer, especially in low-light conditions such as deep woods or twilight or astronomical use. Such 8x21 instruments are essentially useless. Also avoid “zoom” binoculars, which have a lever that alters their magnification. The lenses in such instruments are compromises and deliver an inferior image. And their field of view is porthole-tiny.

Through binoculars, the 3,000 stars visible to the naked eye on the clearest night in the Catskills jump to 30,000.

The best out there The answer to everything is Canon’s image-stabilized models. These are absolutely wonderful, with rapidly swiveling mirrors that compensate for vibrations of your hand. I recommend their second-cheapest model, the 10x30 IS, which costs around $500 but is worth every cent. I also have their much-more-powerful 15x50, but it’s really too heavy to recommend for everyday use. Their very best model, which I also own, is the 10x42 IS, which is obscenely expensive at $1,400. Same magnification as the 10x30, but slightly better optics and decidedly brighter image in low light, and totally waterproof. If you can afford them (occasionally on sale for around $1,150), this is the best image through any binoculars at any

price. The only down side: They’re a bit hefty in weight. So, if you want a light pair that is amazing but not quite the best, or if you just can’t bring yourself to spend so much, get the Canon 10x30 IS. But say even $500 is out of your range. Then spend just $26 on the Celestron 7x35 UpClose G2 binoculars. Great, high-contrast image, wide field, perfect magnification and brightness package: a fine binocular. It just won’t steady the image for you, that’s all. Quick demo Whatever you own, point your glasses straight up the next clear night, at nightfall, around 8 p.m. Look for the brightest star that’s closest to directly overhead. Aim your binoculars there: This is Vega. You’ll see its beautiful blue-white diamond color. But now, find the nearest little star to it. Through the binoculars, it’s a gorgeous double star. People with slightly sharper-than-normal 20/20 vision (20/15 or 20/10, enjoyed by about a quarter of all kids between the ages of 7 and 19) will see it as double with their naked eyes alone. This is the famous binary Epsilon Lyrae. Later that night, anytime after 11 p.m., look in the east and you’ll see a gorgeous little star cluster. These are the “Seven Sisters” or Pleiades. Aim your binoculars at them. Bam! Now, instead of eight stars, you’ll see dozens, and their blue color will be obvious. This stunning galactic cluster is a powerful demonstration of the power of your binoculars. And the view is 3-D, too. Finally, on moonless nights like these, if you live away from town and city lights, slowly sweep your “glasses” across the Milky Way and drink in all the myriad stars and clusters and blotches of nebulae. Nothing like it. Epsilon, the Pleiades, the Milky Way: all better through binoculars than any telescope. Now you know why you should own a pair. And that’s in addition to their wide performance in birding and other nature observations during the day. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

All a-ﬂutter Houseplant pest invades my vegetable patch, but ladybugs save the day

ardening never ceases to be interesting, even if the current object of interest is a pest. Not just any pest, but a new pest! And not just for me. I was alerted to this pest when pulling a few weeds near my Brussels sprouts plants. Brushing against their leaves brought a cloud of what looked like fine snowflakes. They were, in fact, whiteflies: tiny (1.5 mm) fluttering insects, immediately recognizable to me from their common occurrence on houseplants. Whiteflies rarely show up on outdoor plants; in my experience, never. Easy enough to discover on the Web, my whiteflies are appropriately named cabbage whiteflies (Aleyrodes protella). This native of Europe first turned up in the US in 1993, but is rare in the Hudson Valley. It’s fond of all cabbage relatives, with a preference for kale. Not in my garden, though; kale, sharing the bed with the Brussels sprouts, is hardly attacked. The attack seems mild: most evident, besides the snow clouds, by some black sooty mold on the plants. Sooty mold is a fungus that feeds on the sweet exudate that the insect drips on the plant. It’s only on the surface of the leaf, so is harmless, unless it becomes so dense that the leaf is shaded. Cabbage whitefly isn’t easily controlled with chemical pesticides. I’m not worried, though, because the level of damage doesn’t warrant my lifting a finger against them. If some control is needed before the season ends, sprays of either insecticidal soap or horticultural oils are effective – and won’t disrupt the whiteflies’ natural insect and fungal enemies, of which there are plenty. Cleaning up the bed at the end of the season also helps, for next year. Yellow-colored cards coated with something sticky, like Tangletrap, also could offer some control. For now, though, I’m just watching them flit about each time I draw near.

The “lady” in ladybug is the Virgin Mary. The German word for them, Marienkafer, translates also as Marybeetle.

The peach crop got harvested a few days ago – all two of them. The tree is small, but not that small; it could have supported a couple of gallons of peaches. This was a good season for peaches. Unfortunately, my farmden is not a good site for fruit. Insect pests can move in from the woods only 50 feet from the trees, and the low-lying ground acts like a basin into which cold air can collect. That cold air brings late frosts (not this year), and moister air in which fungal diseases fester. Those are my excuses for my two-peach harvest. On the other hand, my investment in the tree has been minimal. The tree grew from a peach pit. Sow an apple seed and the tree might take 10 years before it yields its first fruit. And then, after that long wait, the chance of that fruit tasting good is only about one in 10,000. Sow a peach seed, and the tree might bear in four years. The fruit on that tree is likely to taste quite good, perhaps great. Peaches are self-pollinating, so there’s no foreign for an introduction to wild herbs and edible plants.

genes introduced into the resulting pit. Not so for apples, which don’t bear fruit unless pollinated by a different variety. My peaches, by the way, tasted great. And, with gracefully drooping leaves that retain their shiny green color all season long, the tree is very attractive. I am hoping for a larger crop next year. Aha! Checked back with the whiteflies on the Brussels sprouts, and what do I see? Some ladybugs dining, moving up and down the leaves. The young larvae are likewise at work, along with their parents. (The “lady” in ladybug is, by the way, the Virgin Mary. The German word for them, Marienkafer, translates also as Marybeetle.) Among the many species of ladybug – all in the family Coccinellidae – are some that specialize in devouring mites; others specialize in mildews; still others on mealybugs; some for scale insects and so on. Some members of the family feed on plants: squash beetles and Mexican bean beetles, for instance. I don’t know which species of ladybug is at work on my Brussels sprouts, but I’m happy to have them. On October 1, from 2 until 5 p.m., I will host a Fall Fruit Workshop and Tasting at my farmden in New Paltz. This workshop will cover what fruits are best and easiest to grow and how to grow them. Participants will also get to taste hardy grapes, pawpaws, persimmons, hardy kiwifruit, aki-gumi and more. Harvest organic, (very) local, delectable fruits from your backyard or small farm. Cost is $48. For information, go to www.leereich.com/workshops. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?
