arolyn Dorfman Dance will return to the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli on Saturday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. The company of ten multiethnic dancers is known for its bold and athletic treatment of works by Carolyn Dorfman and other nationally renowned choreographers. They’ve appeared at major theaters, dance festivals, universities, museums and galleries worldwide over the last 30 years, presenting high-energy and technically demanding dances that draw on storytelling for dramatic im-

pact. The program at Kaatsbaan on May 9 will feature Dorfman’s newest work, Waves, in which the dancers are accompanied by live performances by cellist Jessie Reagan Mann, multi-instrumentalist and “human beat-boxer” Pete List and recorder player Daphna Mor. Also included in the evening’s performances will be Klezmer Sketch, inspired by Dorfman’s exploration of Jewish gesture, expression, ritual and family. Audiences will also get a preview of an upcoming work to premiere in 2016, Traces.

The Kaatsbaan International Dance Center in Tivoli is renowned within the dance world as a place where companies and choreographers can create new works and rehearse them in a bucolic setting with space to breathe (figuratively and literally). Adequately sized rehearsal space in big cities is hard to come by and expensive to rent, so Kaatsbaan’s three large studios and 153-acre site fulfill a real need, providing both physical space and the supportive setting that dance professionals need to develop their work while in residency there. Now the rest of the world will have a chance to get a glimpse of what makes Kaatsbaan so special. American Masters: American Ballet Theatre at 75, a new documentary by Ric Burns premiering on PBS Friday, May 15 at 9 p.m., features slow-motion footage filmed during a one-week production residency there in November 2014. The film chronicles the rise of the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) from its early financial struggles to its current status as one of the most revered dance companies in the world. Burns began production in 2006, shooting hundreds of hours of film documenting live

performances in Paris and Havana and rehearsals at the company’s studio in New York City and at Kaatsbaan. The footage produced in Tivoli features nine ABT dancers – Misty Copeland, Gillian Murphy, Hee Seo, Marcelo Gomes, Isabella Boylston, Herman Cornejo, Daniil Simkin, Joseph Gorak and Cory Stearns – chosen for their diversity and breadth of talent to illustrate the qualities for which ABT dancers are known: nuanced emotion and formidable technical and artistic skills. Filmed using cameras that capture up to 2,500 frames per second, the documentary showcases the extraordinary efforts made by premier dancers in their pursuit of perfection. Filmmaker Ric Burns is best-known for his 1999 New York: A Documentary, an eight-part, PBS-premiered 17-hour history of the City’s rise from Dutch trading post to world capital. Other notable projects (in addition to his collaboration with brother Ken on the 1990 Civil War documentary) have included films about the Donner Party, the whaling industry, Coney Island and Ansel Adams. – S.F.

They’ll return for another set of fiddle-driven bluegrass/roots music from 1 to 3 p.m., and in between will be familyfriendly entertainment by Story Laurie and Ira. Cuisine choices will include Aba’s Falafel, Catskill Candies and Confections and offerings from the restaurants located in the village as well as the “Famous Firemen’s Chicken� cooked up by the Margaretville Fire Department, who will also have their brand new firetruck out for show. Many of the products and activities that will be highlighted at Spring on Main reflect the Catskill region’s agricultural heritage. There will be demos from local gardeners and farmers, a rhubarb cooking contest at Home Goods (prizes will be awarded for the top three winners in sweet and savory categories) and plenty of tasty farm products available to sample and purchase. Betty Acres Farm offers “modern milkmaid cheeses� made in its microcreamery from the milk of Jersey and Guernsey cows and aged in a hillside cave. Dirty Girl Goat Farm, another Delaware County micro-creamery, makes several varieties of goat cheeses that it’ll bring to the festival, along with bottled goatmilk. And Crystal Valley Dairy Farm will have bottled creamline milk: nonhomogenized, authentic cream-on-top milk. Karen Fairbairn and husband Jake own the Lazy Crazy Acres farm and microcreamery in Arkville, where they make all-natural “cow-to-cone� gelato from fresh raw whole milk straight from the cow. (The couple will offer their maple syrup at the festival, too.) As spokesperson for BAM, Karen is enthusiastic about the growth coming to their small corner of the Catskills. “A lot of people don’t think of driving past Woodstock, and if they do, they stop at Phoenicia,� she says. “But the people who find their way up here love it, and we’re starting to see more people

Portia Munson show opens on Saturday in Saugerties

A

t first, Catskill-based Portia Munson was known for the art that she showed elsewhere: great piles of pink plastic detritus and other installations that made her a national and then international cultural force to be reckoned with. Then she started playing with a scanner, capturing images of compost and other things around her home‌until a moment came when she wanted to capture a sense of personal loss and fleeting temporality. She picked flowers from her vast gardens that were at their peak and about to start on their downward mortal spiral. She arranged them into heartfelt mandalas, and later into more memento mori tableaux. Now hot off successes in the New York and international art-fair art worlds, Munson is showing a series of refreshingly subtle and life-affirming floral and bone-constructed pieces, Little Suns, Hollow Bones, at the Cross Contemporary Art gallery in Saugerties. It’s the essence of spring, from its intimations of splashy rebirth to hints of darkness past and coming yet again. – Paul Smart Portia Munson opening, Saturday, May 9, 6-8 p.m., through May, Cross Contemporary Art, 81 Partition Street, Saugerties; (845) 399-9751.

Hudson Valley Playwrights’ Short Play Festival in Rhinebeck Thank heavens that it has been accepted that all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players – and that the Hudson Valley Playwrights are offering up a weekend-long festival of new short plays by local authors at the Center for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck. Friday night will host plays by Lisa Kimball about a softening dominatrix; a Bill Duncan piece about a newly trained court mediator; Brian Petti’s examination of an uncovered relationship between a 40-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl; Paul Cooper’s depiction of a young actress’ attempt to get an author to write her a thrilling movie script; and James O’Neil’s high-stakes drama about a homicide detective and his suspect. Saturday evening will include Karen Rich’s bit about an animal-lover and a shelter worker trying to maintain rules; another Lisa Kimball piece, about an estranged couple who have just hit a deer; Ellen O’Neill’s two-character exploration of two mothers’ plights; a dystopian fantasy about a wayward puppet needing medical treatment by R. S. Jones; Wally Carbone’s play about two dogs dealing with the death of a friend; and Elaine Fernandez’s look into the life of a woman who buses schizophrenics. Finally, on Sunday, we get Carol Elkins’ picaresque about a suburban housewife and vacuum salesman’s adventures; Sharon Breslau’s rousing look at a failed ledge-leaping suicide attempt; Tim Gunther’s play on a competitive poetry contest; Ellen Clarkson’s wistful look

Lady Day at 100 Aaron Diehl Trio and Cécile McLorin Salvant pay tribute to Billie Holiday at Bard

Listening to jazz pianist Aaron Diehl play anything, it is not hard to surmise that this gaudily decorated young star of the jazz piano rejects all that is skronky, unruly and “free” in jazz in the name of defending jazz as a high art with a formidably high bar to entry. Diehl’s compositions and performances are immaculate, buttoneddown, rigorous, born of and headed for Lincoln Center. Before entering Juilliard’s Jazz Studies program as a teenager – before! – Diehl had toured with Wynton Marsalis and had helped curate the estate of the sophisticated jazz visionary John Lewis. Like Lewis, Diehl’s work evinces a deep fluency not only with the jazz traditions but also with Western serious music. His scintillating cover of Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin III, “Forlane” is one of many proof-of-concept standouts on Diehl’s first full-fledged statement as leader, 2013’s quartet session The Bespoke Man’s Narrative. There is nothing lightweight about Diehl except the exquisite touch and balance of his playing, an approach to line playing that is both ultra-precise and lyrical and an encompassing command of harmony at the ready. These skills have made Diehl an in-demand collaborator as well as a leader. The Fisher Center and the Catskill Jazz Factory present a Billie Holiday Centenary Tribute featuring the Aaron Diehl Trio and Grammy-nominated vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant in a concert honoring jazz legend Billie Holiday on Friday,

T

he Library of Congress has preserved this photo of Billie Holiday as well as hundreds of other famed jazz images taken by William P. Gottlieb online at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wghtml/wghome.html. The collection documents the jazz scene from 1938 to 1948, primarily in New York City and Washington, DC. During the course of his career at the Washington Post and DownBeat magazine, Gottlieb created portraits of many prominent jazz musicians, including Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and Ella Fitzgerald. The late photographer is the father of artist/rock climber Rich Gottlieb, who owns Rock and Snow in downtown New Paltz and is himself a local legend. – Julie O’Connor

mong other distinctions, Mexican guitar virtuoso Gil Gutierrez can claim to have been discovered, for American purposes, by Doc Severinsen when the famous trumpeter and Tonight Show bandleader was on vacation in San Miguel de Allende. The retired Severinsen unretired to work with Gutierrez and ensure his exposure to a larger audience. It worked. The prolific recording artist and tireless live performer, now in his early 50s, has played Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. He has sat in with the Minneapolis and Florida symphonies and with the New York Pops. Considering that he did not begin recording until 2002, Gutierrez’s 14 releases attest to a great run of productivity and exploration. In 2014, Gutierrez and Severinsen released Oblivion, a zesty swing date that effortlessly bridges Gypsy and Big Band pop swing styles. Gutierrez’s musical dialect is a truly international fusion born of jazz, Latin, Gypsy and folk. He can blaze like a great flamenco player or he can ruminate profoundly on simple melodies. His voice is equally at home in front of symphony or in the most intimate solo settings. Speaking of intimacy, Gil Gutierrez with violinist Bob Stern will perform in the Barbara Fite Room at Opus 40 in Saugerties on Saturday, May 9 at 3 p.m. Admission costs $40. Reservations can be made on the Opus 40 webpage, www.opus40.org, or by calling (845) 246-3400. – John Burdick Gil Gutierrez with Bob Stern, Saturday, May 9, 3 p.m., $40, Opus 40, 50 Fite Road, Saugerties; www.opus40.org.

Battle Ave

Battle Ave launches new LP at BSP on Friday

A

swarm of mostly Brooklynheadquartered virtual press has gathered around Battle Ave’s second record, Year of Nod (2015, Seagreen Records). Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Impose and others have previewed its singles, told its story and attempted to define its “dark popâ€? sound with knots and weaves of descriptive language and with reference clusters involving mostly bands that you have not heard of: “Sounds like early Cat Girl showing up high on salvia to a custody hearing against the Lemon Coats with Stephen Malkmus’ German double presiding.â€? It gets even better in the Comments sections. They seem drawn to this fine, unusual record like tenure-hungry anthropologists to an isolated tribe. The fact they can’t get

past is that Battle Ave is from “upstate.� Again and again, it is noted that this dark pop emanates from “the Catskills,� as if that alone accounts for the peculiarity of songwriter Jesse Alexander’s Muse: his groggy, grandfatherly vocal delivery; the fragmented, symbol-laden, quaint Modernism of his lyrics; and the band’s sure hand with jangly drone and with long, accretive forms that change at the pace and in the layered, irregular manner of geology. In Year of Nod’s slow chemistry and in Alexander’s brilliantly doddering singing, your 20-something Brooklyn music scribe seems to hear a voice not merely of the hills, but quite possibly one descended from a hill: its father a mountain, its mother woodsmoke and the night sky. These Catskills are a land of chronic

nocturne with a population of, give or take, one. Writes Stereogum, “Battle Ave hail from upstate New York, which means they’re familiar with punishing winters, remote wilderness and the allure of an expansive, all-night city winking and glowing just hours away.â€? Impose concludes that “The sheer wonder the remote Catskills embody, paired with [Battle Ave’s] brand of lush, gloomy pop, seems, more or less, like something from nothing.â€? Funny that Battle Av e s o u n d s — to me, more or less—like a good Brooklyn band. Barns. The midHudson Valley music scene is increasingly becoming a story of several barns. The barns of Woodstock house Levon’s Grammies, Landy’s iconic portraits and the still-vital legacy of Grossman, Dylan, Butterfield, the Band and so on. While Jesse Alexander was raised under the shadow of the Bearsville barn Theater, he does not partake much of its aesthetics. Year of Nod was recorded and mixed in a different barn by Kevin McMahon (Titus

McMahon moved his New York City studio Marcata to a barn outside of New Paltz a number of years ago, and that barn now appears to be the county seat of the alternative, the resistance to the still-prevailing currents of Ulster County barn rock. Year of Nod is a moody electric rock record, but there is indeed a pastoral quality to it, expressed in its lazy-river pace, the way that it dwells in pretty much one key for its duration and in the way that it augments Alexander’s and Adam Stoutenburgh’s chimey electric guitar latticework with grassy pads and beds, copper chords on August organs, the perpetual-but-barelyperceptible insectoid buzzing, wheeze and elliptical drift of a country summer. But this pastorality is an entirely urban strategy, a Brooklyn-synched gesture of neo-primitivism and the new naĂŻvetĂŠ. You can hear variants of the same aesthetic

SHOW

Breakfast for the Boys launches new LP at Snug’s in New Paltz

A

t first exposure, New Paltz’s Breakfast for the Boys might appear to be a fairly typical, if highly skilled and impassioned, original funk, soul and blues project. Catch a few shows, however, and it will shed some light on the more unusual and exceptional things about this group. For example, it is the bass player in this band, Sam Smith, who is the freakishly talented overblower and the guitarist, Damien Jackson, who is the buttoned-down model of taste and restraint. That inversion of the ordinary alone gives the band a bit of a non-traditional skew. Drummer Roger LaRochelle’s years of playing in styles ranging from dream-pop to blues and Turkish folk music have given him an authentic command of genre that is quietly breathtaking. Keyboardist Lucas Brenard provides subtle and effective roots ambience and colors imported from jazz. The focal point of Breakfast for the Boys is Aubrey Haddard, a young Berklee-educated songwriter and performer who sings with fiery, ripped-speaker, throat-torching grit that must be seen to be understood. Working around Ms. Haddard’s studies in Boston, the band has finally completed its long-awaited full-length, The Ides of March. They celebrate the release at the hoppingest joint on the street in New Paltz, Snug Harbor, on Friday, May 8 at 10 p.m. In the Kitchen and the Honey Company are also on board. Snug Harbor is located at 38 Main Street in New Paltz. – John Burdick Breakfast for the Boys CD Release Show + In the Kitchen & Honey Company, Friday, May 8, 10 p.m., Snug Harbor, 38 Main Street, New Paltz.

argument in the work of a couple dozen hundred ecstatic new-folk and in all the post-Arcade Fire indie collectives. What differentiates Battle Ave is not its remote point of origin, but rather the band’s extreme patience and uncompromising naturalism. While the sound of this electric “dark pop” is quite often bright, warm and jangly, tempos range from mid downward. Change is constant but glacial, keyed to the stopping and starting of Sammi Niss’s elegant, pattern-based drumming and Sam Mintzer’s bass. The arrangements play like a horizontal pan along a cross-section of a landscape, vertically stratified and not of human design. Even percussion parts seem sometimes more environmental than intentional. The “drum” part on the song “Lalande” sounds like a couple of guys outside the studio trying to hammer an old screen door into shape so that it will close; I swear you can hear them cursing a few times. Alexander’s singing and writing may be grandfatherly, but it is a Grandpa who doesn’t speak much of the fact that he used to trade sketches with Man Ray, that he traveled the Greek Isles with Henry Miller and that William Carlos Williams was his childhood physician. Alexander’s default lyrical setting is a downsized Whitmanesque, a groping, cataloguing attempt to define one’s place in the cosmos and the cosmos’ place in one’s self; but its magical ambitions are undercut in a delightful way by frequent, surprisingly gritty and acidic details: “See my parents dressed in black,” he sings on the opening track “Aleph,” “icy stares

across the racetrack.” Ultimately, Year of Nod delivers the otherworldly stupefaction that its title promises by sticking to its guns, crafting a geo-timeline feel of great heft, long throw and a croaking beauty, lightened by frequent female vocal cameos by Emma Tringali of the band Pop & Obachan and by Greta Kline of the much ballyhooed Frankie Cosmos. They sound like angels next to Rip Van Alexander’s ancient voice of them thar hills. You’d sound like an angel next to Alexander’s ancient voice of them thar hills.

Neil Young tribute at Bearsville benefits Woodstock Day School Woodstock loves its history, especially when it comes to music. And it has a knack for reinventing and reinvigorating that musical history with healthy regularity as a means of keep-

ing its reputation living and growing, as well as supporting what’s youngest or newer in the always-rejuvenating community. Take that big festival that took the town’s name: Although it took place nearly 100 miles away and has been the source of confusion and laughter for a good 46 years now, its roots are still evident, nourishing and celebrated in Woodstock itself. Primarily, what people love are the memories of the Soundouts, themselves based on much earlier Maverick Festivals, that ran during summers from 1967 into 1970, pulling out the best of the rock and folk scenes that lived in and around town in those days. Woodstock is still not only a draw for musicians looking for a cool place to hang out and play, even record still, but also home to a grounded music scene part legendary, part up-and-coming. Starting seven years ago, a new form of the old Soundouts was brought back to life as annual benefit concerts for the Woodstock Day School, featuring both visiting acts like Blondie and Laurie Anderson and more homegrown tributes to local all-stars such as Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan. This Friday, May 8, they roar back with an evening-long tribute to the songs and influence of Neil Young. What has Young got to do with Woodstock? Hey, he played the big festival with his new group of the time, Crosby, Stills & Nash (asking not to be filmed or recorded in the process), and has made a habit of drifting through town ever since. Hosted by the great Happy Traum – one of the folks who lured Dylan and the scene

MOVIE

Dr. Banner & Mr. Stark Avengers: Age of Ultron balances heart, humor & CGI destruction

M

y snobby resistance to comic-book-based movies having been gradually worn down by the fact that there are so darn many of them out there in the cinemaplexes these days, I’m beginning to get a bit more of a handle on how to compare one to another. That doesn’t mean that I have any grasp at all of the deep, broad and complex Marvel canon, so my review of Avengers: Age of Ultron isn’t going to be able to enlighten anyone about how scandalously it diverges therefrom. No matter; those to whom such things are important already saw it on opening night and won’t be looking to the likes of this reviewer for any guidance. The up side of such ignorance is that I was therefore able to watch the movie in a sort of critical vacuum, unburdened by a true fan’s righteous indignation about plot holes, lost or merged characters or divergences from venerable storylines. It’s probably heresy to say, but despite the fact that it’s clearly the middle placeholder in a trilogy, I actually enjoyed Age of Ultron somewhat more than its 2012 predecessor. While the sequel seems to be getting mainly positive reviews, I’ve already a spotted a few articles online following the “Six Reasons Why the Original Was So Much Better� format. Just for kicks, I’m going to list six of the things that I liked more about this installment.

1) The lead characters seem all to belong in the same movie this time. While director Joss Whedon has been quoted as saying, “The joy of the Avengers is they really don’t belong in the same room,� and the personality clashes among them are a big part of the fun, in the 2012 Avengers they didn’t even seem to speak the same language a lot of the time. Here, although much of the plot conflict arises from an enemy infiltrating their minds and sowing mistrust and dissension among them, there is still much more of a sense of the existence of a team, and not just random threads from a bunch of incompatible stories. It’s like the characters are settling into their roles more. Although fans of Tom Hiddleston are mourning the absence of Loki from this film, it actually helps quite a lot not to have so many scenes of two Asgardian gods confronting one another in stilted, fakey-sounding medieval Norse accents. Even Thor (Chris Hemsworth) seems more relaxed trying to pass as a normal Earthling, and a nightclub scene wherein the other male Avengers are vying to see who can pick up his magic warhammer is one of the funniest bits in the movie.

Lest we forget, the funny bits are what distinguish the Avengers franchise from the rest of the same-old, same-old superhero world. 2) It has a tad less in the way of smash-‘em-up battle sequences and more in the way of humanizing backstory and heart-tugging relationship development. This may strike some action fans as a weakness, but I’ll trade off a bit of adrenaline rush for more emotional engagement with the characters any old time. We discover, for instance, during a period in Act II when the Avengers need to lie low and lick their wounds for a while, that one of them has a family whom he has carefully kept secret. There’s also a burgeoning, tentative romance between two of them that has some fans howling with outrage over its implausibility, but that elicited a heartfelt “Aaawwww� from the audience more than once at the screening that I attended. We want these tormented Marvel antiheroes to catch a break and find a little happiness now and then, don’t we? On the other hand, we also don’t want them to encounter too much in the way of happily-ever-after, or this wouldn’t be the Marvel universe, where having to overcompensate for something in your dark past makes you what you are, way more than any superpower. Whedon goes to the trouble of establishing one such character’s origin story quite persuasively, only to kill said character off by the end, which seems a bit confusing (especially since other branches of the franchise seem to have the character alive and well). Then again, death is never so final that a little time warp or alternative-universe plot twist can’t fix it pronto in a sequel. 3) The dynamics of the Tony Stark/ Bruce Banner relationship often occupy center stage. This is important not only because Robert Downey, Jr. and Mark Ruffalo are the two most compelling players in the Avengers acting stable, but also, in this storyline, because Stark needs Banner to be his better angel more desperately than ever. The usual irony of the ethical and sensitive Banner having to play the role of the manipulative, amoral Stark’s conscience, even while he struggles with his own Jekyll-andHyde nature, gets piled here on top of the fact that the main bad guy is a

product of Stark’s own experimentation with artificial intelligence – with Banner as his enabler, leading to a split with the rest of their team. Their scenes together are packed with terrific dialogue, and the tension between them gets acted out in a mordantly funny mano-å-metal-suit battle when the Hulk loses it whilst surrounded by innocent civilians. 4) Speaking of that main bad guy, Ultron, he’s pretty funny too – even though, as a cyberthreat to the plan-

VIS, Tony Stark’s electronic assistant, data repository and frequent rescuer. He’s sort of Alfred the butler to Iron Man’s Batman. But in Age of Ultron, JARVIS is at first incapacitated (very bad news for Stark Enterprises and the good guys in general), then gets an opportunity to demonstrate his own ingenuity in a crucial way. His reward is to be recycled into the generation of Vision, whom Bettany portrays in the flesh and not just as a voice actor. Sorry if that’s a spoiler, but it’s kind of what this whole movie was set up to make happen, and anyone who’s a Marvel fan at all knew long ago that it was in the works. In any case, Bettany is always great fun to watch, and reason enough to come back for Avengers III. 6) Did I mention that it’s funnier, even though it’s somewhat more serious and downbeat in tone overall than the first movie? This is directly related to Item #1. The team here seems to be less about rubbing one another the wrong way than about getting into a comfortable rhythm of friendly needling. The running joke of Captain America (Chris Evans)’s prissiness about swearing gets a lot of mileage, but holds up amusingly. Zingy one-liners are salted liberally throughout. These are the moments – not the cities being blown up, unless you’re 12 years old – that make Marvel movies worth the price of admission. – Frances Marion Platt

The photos in Michel Couturier’s “1974” capture the austere beauty of the now-gone World Trade Center as it was being prepared for its inauguration 41 years ago. Back then, the place was awesome. A few years later it was being made fun of, aesthetically. Then it became hallowed, and its very look reexamined. What a perfect show to coincide with what Hundred Mile is up to. A “lifestyle concept showroom,” the place matches up select “designers and manufacturers who best reflect our personal aesthetic, hoping that what we enjoy in our home, you will also enjoy in yours.” It’s all about appealing to “individuals who wish to live with good design.” Expect Prosecco and chocolate truffles as everyone celebrates. – Paul Smart Michel Couturier’s “1974” photos opening, Saturday, May 9, 2-6 p.m., free, Hundred Mile Showroom, 6378-6380 Mill Street, Rhinebeck; (845) 516-4522, www.100mileny.com.

here’s absolutely nothing like a Powell/Pressburger film, which always started with an arrow hitting its target, just as all their great works did – especially the voluptuously beautiful and deeply memorable The Red Shoes, which even after Black Swan is still the be-all and end-all of ballet (and all arts) works on film. It plays this Sunday as part of the Rosendale Theatre’s monthly series of dance works. The 1948 film’s plot was inspired by the famous impresario Serge Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes, and involved the creation of an actual ballet company to give authenticity to the rehearsals and performances, choreographed by Robert Helpmann. Backstage dramas, an artiste’s single-minded pursuit of excellence and the bringing to life of a classic Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale about a pair of seductive red ballet shoes that cause an unsuspecting ballerina to dance to her death all carry the plot. Yet it’s the beautiful compositions, use of color and overall sense of immaculate production that the producing, writing and directing team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger brings to this and all their films that makes it all soar. Ever seen Black Narcissus, I Know Where I’m Going! or The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp? They are considered by many to be cinema at its best. Dance Film Sundays – a series that started in June 2010 under the auspices of the Rosendale Theatre Collective – are held on the second Sunday of every month at the Rosendale Theatre. – Paul Smart The Red Shoes, Sunday, May 10, 3 p.m., $10/$6, Rosendale Theatre, 408 Main Street, Rosendale; (845) 658-8989, www.rosendaletheatre.org.

For the love of lithography Swing dancing and Moonshine benefit at Ashokan Center to help fund printmaking studio upgrade at Woodstock School of Art

I

ncorporated in 1981, the Woodstock School of Art (WSA) is marking its 35th anniversary, and it has a lot to celebrate. Located in a group of handsome bluestone buildings constructed in 1939 under the New Deal as a school for arts and crafts – the WSA, which was founded in 1968, moved into the buildings in 1981 and purchased them in 1993 – its reputation as a place

school founder Robert Angeloch, whose extraordinary etchings, lithographs and woodblocks, some of which still grace the walls of the studio, set a high standard right from the beginning. His prodigy, Kate McGloughlin, who took her first class with Angeloch in 1991 and famously never left, has been running and teaching at the studio since Angeloch, who died in 2011, retired many years ago.

etching and monotype, and overseeing a group of regulars, some of whom rely on Kate’s expertise as they seek to perfect a technique that they learned in one of the workshops. McGloughlin is a master multitasker, reminding some neophyte of the next step in the printing of his or her monotype and weighing in on another participant’s sketch for an etching while meanwhile mixing up a batch of ink and admiring s o m e o n e’s particularly successful print right off the press. Because it is prohibitively expensive to maintain your own printmaking operation, many of the regulars are mature artists themselves who use the WSA’s facility to create their own etchings, woodcuts, lithographs and other types of prints. As was the case in Angeloch’s day, the effort is collaborative, with the artists getting both technical support and feedback from each other. The Friday-morning group is currently engaged in a class, ending May 30, of recycling its members’ prints into collages: a project that clearly speaks to their experience in the medium. Artists can also rent the studio at a rate of $30 for three hours to use the presses. Several of these have a distinguished pedigree in the history of art. For example, the Fuchs and Lang press, formerly the property of the Woodstock Artists Association, has been serving Woodstock artists since the 1930s, including Yasuo Kuniyoshi and Clarence Bolton; more

recently, editions of lithographs by Milton Glaser, Richard Segalman, Zhang Hong Nian, Eva van Rijn and Leslie Bender have come off that press. “Our print shop is unique,” said McGloughlin. “It’s phenomenal to have it.” Some printing methods go in and out of style. One that has had a resurgence of interest at the school is lithography, which is taught by Ron Netsky. “I’ve got ten artists interested in doing this 200-year-old technique,” said McGloughlin, noting that several are college students. “I have such a love for this process. Drawing on a stone is very physical and meditative. There’s a little resist, when you push the crayon around, which is the elemental part. It feels very basic. While a lot of mediums, such as etching and woodblock printing, are about stylizing the forms, in lithography you can make rich tonal areas and grays that shimmer.” Lithography was once popular with artists as a way to make art that they could sell inexpensively, prior to the advent of high-quality commercial prints. Lithographs made in the 1920s by many of the Woodstock artists are legendary for their tonal beauty, and it’s a tradition that McGloughlin is eager to pass on to the next generation. “Bob [Angeloch] was a huge link from the golden era to contemporary times, and I want to keep passing it on to guys in the 21st century. I’ve introduced them to the work of

Bolton Brown, who was the grandfather of American lithography.” The Woodstock artist traveled to England to learn the technique, and he “ground the stones and made crayons specific to his drawing. If he wanted a shimmering effect, he’d add more fat to the crayon, for a rich black” – a method of working that made an artform out of the craft. Making lithographs at the school, however, takes a lot of muscle. One of the

The WSA’s Fuchs and Lang press has served many Woodstock artists, including Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Clarence Bolton, Milton Glaser and Richard Segalman challenges is that it has been “a mostly fair-weather sport,” in which the stones are ground outside and then have to be carried back into the studio. But that’s about to change, with a major upgrade of the studio enabling students to grind their stones closer to the building and transport them in carts to an open-air shed. While small renovations have been made to the studio over the years, this will be a major upgrade that will greatly expand the space. Working with historic preservation architect Marilyn Kaplan, the school will be removing a wall separating the printmaking studio from the adjoining sculpture studio. The construction will

begin in September, with the new, expanded studio available in early spring of 2016. Two of the presses will be moved into another studio so that printmaking can be continued, although no workshops will be offered until the spring. At that point, McGloughin’s workshops, which

and network with people and learn about it. I’m a lifetime learner,” Bliss says simply. Her labors, and those of many volunteers associated with the Hudson-based nonprofit, are focused on one goal: restoration of the 1903 Clinton Crane sloop Eleanor. The 12-meter racing sloop is entered in the US National Register of Historic Places (1982) and the New York State Register of Historic Places (1983), and is the last known example of a “raceabout”: a class of boats designed for speed. As such, Eleanor offers sailing enthusiasts, master craftsmen, history buffs and boat designers a rare opportunity to observe an important chapter in the evolution of sailing and sailboat design. Once restoration of the nine-passenger sloop designed by Clinton Crane in 1903 is complete, it will become what Bliss calls “an intimate classroom.” “The Eleanor is small enough that

We may allow a few more people on board if the weather is good, but nine would be the limit in stormy weather,” says Bliss. The restoration began in earnest when ownership of the Eleanor was transferred to the Hudson River Historic Boat Restoration & Sailing Society in 2011. One of the many challenges inherent in restoring Eleanor has been that when Clinton Crane died in 1957, all plans for the boat that he created were burned. Restoration plans had to be created from existing boats such as Crane’s Idem Class racing sloop the Water Witch, on display at the Adirondack Museum. Shortly after bringing Eleanor to Hudson, the organization invited Jim Kricker of Rondout Woodworking in Saugerties to take a look at the boat. “His help has been extremely important for us,” says Bliss. Kricker wrote a complete plan for the ambitious boat restoration, from setting up shop to outlining materials and projecting costs and time estimates. “We’ve been following Jim’s plan and refer to his suggestions often. Just the other day, we needed some copper nails, and I called him, because copper is so expensive.” In March of this year, volunteers finally turned their attention from the painstaking process of taking Eleanor apart to begin the reconstruction process. A new keelson was installed to support the sloop’s new floor, new ribs and reconstruction of the transom. Mast hoops were cut this month, and new white oak flooring is being laid. Bliss, who has lived by the Hudson River and worked around boats since she was 12 years old, acknowledges that wooden boat restoration requires an abundance of patience. “We volunteers work together on Thursday evenings, and it’s a cohesive, fun group of people. We’ve established an informal boat school ourselves here in Hudson,” she says, adding, “We’re not licensed, but we’ve learned a great deal about how boats are made.” This learning curve took a slight turn when workers uncovered a little secret: Eleanor’s floors were asymmetrical. “Eleanor has a rustic, very strong assembly, and she was in very good condition for her

Wallkill Valley Land Trust presents Turtle Day this Saturday, stargazing next Friday in Gardiner

hose of us who are mourning the recent death of Sir Terry Pratchett have no difficulty associating stars with shelled reptiles, since the great British humorist/fantasy author set his imaginary planet of Discworld on the back of the Great A’Tuin, a gigantic turtle flying amongst the galaxies. For everyone else, it’s the Wallkill Valley Land Trust (WVLT) that pulls together these two disparate topics in the coming weeks in the Town of Gardiner, with fun events lined up for science geeks of both the astrophysical and the herpetological persuasion. Eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina) – too small to carry a planet, but of just the right size and mild temperament for little kids to handle and observe – are the subject of interest this Saturday morning, May 9, on the 65-acre Smith Property in Gardiner’s Tuthilltown neighborhood. The Smith family, with the aid of biologist Joe Bridges, have been monitoring the creatures’ migrations, habits and reproductive success since 2005, distinguishing individual turtles by the fingerprintlike orange-and-black rosette patterns on their domed shells. And each year the WVLT organizes a Turtle Day, when the general public of all ages is invited to join the hunt. Anne Smith will join Bridges in leading the Turtle Day Walk and Talk, which will begin at 10 a.m. with a brief overview of the project and a lesson in box turtle identification. Then comes the fieldwork. Turtles will be sought, identified, logged, mapped and photographed, but not harmed. Some may be outfitted with transmitters for electronic telemetry to help track their movements. The outing is scheduled to run until 12 noon, rain or shine; come prepared for choppy terrain and ticks. Participation is limited and advance registration with the WVLT is required by calling (845) 255-2761 or e-mailing info@ wallkillvalleylt.org. Please leave your name, e-mail address and phone number in your message so that your participation can be confirmed. Directions to the meetup point will be provided upon registration. There is no fee to participate. You can learn lots more about the monitoring project at www.boxturtlesny.com. If you’re a night owl rather than a morning person, or prefer looking up to looking down, you might have more fun the following Friday evening, May 15, when the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association (MHAA) brings its telescopes and collective sky knowledge to the Osborne Farm and Conservation Easement – also in Gardiner near its border with New Paltz. This protected property is in close proximity to the Wallkill River, with a nice open field of view and little light pollution nearby. General admission to the stargazing event is free; non-WVLT members pay $5. Call (845) 255-2761 or e-mail info@ wallkillvalleylt.org for more details and the meeting location. The group will gather at 8:30 p.m., allowing some time before full dark to walk out to the viewing site and get the optical equipment set up. If the weather cooperates, you’ll get a great look at the heavens. Any spacefaring turtle sightings are the viewer’s own responsibility. – Frances Marion Platt Wallkill Valley Land Trust’s Turtle Day, Saturday, May 10, 10 a.m.-12 noon, free, Smith Property, Gardiner; Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association Stargazing, Friday, May 15, 8:30 p.m., $5, Osborne Farm, Gardiner; (845) 255-2761, info@wallkillvalleylt.org.

The trouble with tributaries Volunteers needed for this Saturday’s Riverkeeper Sweep

S

till got some cabin fever to shake off (or superfluous poundage to lose) after a long, cold, snowy, classic Northeast winter? Besides opportunities for exercise, more outdoorsy weather also means that it’s time to get out there and pitch in on a group cleanup effort in your community. Lots of towns plan “clean sweep” events in the spring, some of them tied to Earth Day or Arbor Day in late April. But if you haven’t participated in one yet this year, your big chance is coming up this Saturday, May 9: the fourth annual Riverkeeper Sweep, which offers your choice of over 100 sites in the Hudson Valley, from New York City to Albany, that are in need of a bit of sprucing-up. More than two dozen of them are located in Almanac Weekly’s four-county readership area. If four years sounds way too young to jibe with your memories of similar events, you’re likely recalling the decade when the annual Hudson Valleywide litter-picking party was run by Scenic Hudson and known as the Great Hudson River Sweep. The campaign was initiated in 1998 in response to a note from a 6-year-old boy named Josh Taubes, saying, “I am writing to you because I see trash floating in the Hudson River. Is there any way you can help me?” Scenic Hudson organized the event for ten years, then spun it off ten years later, after deciding that it had developed enough momentum to be carried forward by dozens of community waterfront groups without centralized oversight. But without a regional umbrella organization to handle the logistics and publicity, the Sweep’s grassroots momentum faltered, and eventually Riverkeeper stepped in and took charge. Nearly 2,000 volunteers took part in the 2014 Sweep, removing and recycling 31 tons of trash in 82 shoreline locations. While the original Sweep focused primarily on the banks of the Hudson River, there were always also cleanups of other parks and public sites. And nowadays, with Riverkeeper’s datacollecting indicating that water quality is actually far worse in our estuary’s tributaries than it is in the Hudson itself, Sweep organizing is becoming more geographically diffuse. You’ll find that many of the cleanup sites listed below are located on smaller streams in the Hudson watershed, one of which may flow through your own neighborhood! One of the most active partner organizations participating in the Sweep is the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Hudson Estuary Program, whose Trees for Tribs

initiative donates free saplings of native trees to community groups willing to plant them as part of riparian restoration projects along tributary streams. If you volunteer for one of the Trees for Tribs projects organized as part of Sweep day, you’ll be uprooting invasive vegetation or digging holes to replace them with native species instead of removing trash. It’s heavier work, but the benefits to your community will be longer-term. But that diversity of tasks is part of the beauty of this mass event: Everyone from a pint-sized litter-picker to a kayaker to a wheelchairbound volunteer willing to make phone calls has a niche in which he or she can contribute to the effort. In our readership area, there are Trees for Tribs planting parties planned in New Paltz and High Falls in Ulster County and Taghkanic in Columbia County. Waterborne cleanups, exploiting the ability of kayakers and canoers to access jetsam-strewn places unreachable on foot like islands or bridge abutments, are being organized on the Wallkill River, Rondout Creek, Saugerties Bay and Saugerties Marsh in Ulster and Lower Wappinger Creek and North Tivoli Bay in Dutchess. Also trending on the Sweep front are partnerships with regional brewpubs, many of which have signed up to supply one free beer (or non-alcoholic beverage) per volunteer once the hard, messy day’s (or half-day’s) work is done. Says Riverkeeper’s manager of strategic partnerships, Dana Gulley, “Cleaning

rivers and drinking beer go together so well!” You can find out which watering holes in your neck of the woods are offering the free beer promotion on the Riverkeeper website at www.riverkeeper. org /news-events/events/rvk-events/ sweep2015. That’s also where you go to register to participate in a Sweep and find out all the logistics. The event goes on rain or shine, and volunteers should show up wearing mud-appropriate footgear and bring heavy work gloves if they have them. “There’s no bad weather – just bad clothes” for a Sweep, says Arthur Cemelli, volunteer commander for both the shoreline infantry and the kayak navy for the Wallkill River cleanup, meeting at Sojourner Truth Park in New Paltz at 9 a.m. this Saturday. There’s also a link on the site to download forms supplied by American Rivers for high school and college students who want their Sweep volunteer hours to count toward their community service requirements. Here are the Riverkeeper Sweep sites listed in our readership area as of presstime.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

The grim pruner Sometimes an overgrown shrub must be lopped right down to the ground

D

eb gets a little nervous every time I go into the garage for some pruning tools this time of year – not because she’s afraid that I might hurt myself, but for what I might do to the plants. Today it was so-called “renovative pruning” of the St. Johnswort “Sunny Boulevard” shrubs that line the western edge of the brick terrace. I approached the shrub with some unconventional pruning tools. L e t ’s first backtrack and put everyone at ease. A shrub is a shrub because it’s shrubby; that is, it’s always growing new shoots at or near ground level rather than developing a permanent, upright trunk off which permanent limbs and new shoots grow. Some shrubs – most shrubs, in fact – get congested with too many new and older shoots rising from their base and too many old shoots that no longer perform well, performance in this case meaning a good show of flowers. An old stem can put on a good show for only so many years before becoming decrepit. The obvious solution to the above two problems with shrubs is, first, to limit the number of new shoots arising low in or around the plant. It’s a matter of judgment for how many to leave. (Pruning is art and science, and my book, The Pruning Book, attempts to

make readers better artists and scientists – when pruning, at least.) As far as those old stems, they should be cut down near ground level once they’ve overstayed their welcome. So much for maintenance pruning. Sometimes a shrub has gotten too out of hand for all this detail work. Enter renovative pruning. It’s very easy: You just lop everything down to the ground, which is what I did to Sunny Boulevard. I started out using a chainsaw – my Stihl pole chainsaw. This saw has a smaller blade and a long reach, which allowed me to get to the base of the plant without battling all the arching stems. After that, I sawed back stems arching over the hypertufa wall edge of the terrace with a Porter Cable Sawzall powered by a 20-volt battery. Final cleanup was with my Fiskars Powergear lopper and Felco pruning shears. (That’s a lot of product recommendations, but I highly recommend all of them.)

Deb is now nervous about the lilac bush, which also needs some renovation.

So what was I left with when I was done pruning? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Well, not really; the roots were still alive and in the ground. And I’m banking on those roots sending up new sprouts. And because Sunny Boulevard is slated to start blossoming in July on buds that form on new shoots, I’m also banking on blossoms on those new shoots. Because they’re beginning growth way down at ground level, blossoming might begin a bit later than usual. Shrubs that blossom early in the season, such as forsythia, lilac and mock orange, form their flowerbuds a year before they actually open. Hence, the best time to prune these shrubs, if you want a full show of blossoms, is right after the blossoms fade. Prune them before blossoming and you cut off potential blooms. Still, having a clean slate after a dramatic renovative pruning is appealing, sometimes even with a sacrifice of

Hence, the best time to prune these shrubs, if you want a full show of blossoms, is right after the blossoms fade. blooms. Deb is now nervous about the lilac bush, which also needs some renovation. I’m planning to do a less dramatic renovative pruning on it, and I’ll probably wait until after it blossoms. Big onions or medium-sized onions or small onions: What to grow? The choice is mine (and yours). Much depends on planting distances. I’m opting for medium-sized onions, about three inches in diameter. Yesterday I set out about 250 transplants grown from seed that I sowed in early February in a tub of potting soil. Three varieties: Ailsa Craig, an heirloom from 1887, for sweet, mild onions that need to be used early because they don’t store well; New York Early, a non-hybrid variety selected over the years by New York onion-growers, for medium-term storage; and Copra, a rock-hard hybrid onion that stores very well, all the while maintaining some sweetness. In a three-foot-wide bed, I planted five rows of onions, with about four inches between rows and about four inches between onions in each row. Planting distances are not the end-all for onion size. Variety also figures in; given enough space, in northern areas, such as around here, long-day varieties, which form bulbs when day length is 14 hours or more, get largest because they grow the most leaves before bulbing begins. More leaves mean bigger bulbs, which is also a reason to plant as early as possible. (Note

to myself: Plant onions earlier next year, in mid-April.) Even among northern varieties of onions, potential sizes vary. Ailsa Craig onions have the potential to grow quite large, which is why they’re grown for exhibition at state fairs and the like. I’m banking on the close spacing keeping them from growing too big – five pounds or more by some accounts. Of course, good growing conditions also make for more leaves sooner. Got that. I spread compost an inch deep over the already-mellow soil, and drip irrigation lines are poised to quench the plants’ thirst. – Lee Reich Any gardening questions?

current prominence. Or they can be in southerly constellations, which explains why Saturn doesn’t get very high this year as it sits in low Scorpius. Venus is wonderfully positioned. It will remain well-seen for the next six weeks, further brightening all the while. But this weekend, it’s our guide to the normally invisible background stars on the day of the Summer Solstice – in other words, what lurks behind the solstitial Sun if the blue daytime sky didn’t hide the universe. Where you see Venus right now, that’s where the Sun will be in six weeks: at the northernmost station on the celestial railroad. – Bob Berman Want to know more?

W

e’ve been talking about Venus a lot lately. But it’s so dazzling that it can’t be ignored – especially since this is its best showing in years. In case you’ve been asleep like Rip Van Winkle, the evening star is that amazingly brilliant light in the west the first few hours after sunset. It’s 100 times brighter than any star, although it’s “only” six times brighter than much-higher-up Jupiter, its only starlike rival. This weekend, May 8 through 10, it arrives at its most northerly position of the year. It occupies essentially the same spot in which the Sun floats on the Summer Solstice, June 21. So if Venus seems to be shining through odd windows, that’s because it’s occupying an extreme position for any planet. If you keep schoolteachers’ hours and hit the sack by 9:30 or 10 p.m., well, then Venus still shines in the northwest: bright enough to cast faint shadows if all other lights are off. Watching the Moon, Sun and planets as they moved against the background stars obsessed many ancient civilizations as well as modern backyard stargazers. If our planet could stop rotating for a while so that the quick east-to-west whizzing of everything in the heavens were temporarily halted, it would be easier to

observe the motion of solar system objects casually as they all slowly traverse the zodiac in the opposite direction. Of course, only one circles the sky because it’s actually circling around our planet, and that’s the Moon. Its path carries it through all 13 zodiacal constellations in 27.32166 days, and back where it started. For all other objects, which also normally move eastward against the stars, the motion is due to them orbiting the Sun or else arises from our changing viewing angles as our own world circles the Sun. The Sun itself traces a path against the distant stars once a year – but its background is of course the most difficult to see, because it hides everything by its brilliance. If it could somehow remain totally eclipsed, we’d see the Sun moving two Sun-widths eastward per day against the stars. Jupiter marches completely through all the zodiacal constellations in 12 years, spending about a year in each; currently it sits in Leo. Saturn takes almost 30 years, thus lingering about two-and-a-half years in each constellation. But Venus and Mercury move much faster. As all these celestial bodies shift position, they sometimes occupy northerly constellations, which lets them parade high up, which helps explain Venus’

The 2015 NEWvember Festival, from November 5 to 8, will feature these works in rehearsed readings done with established actors and directors. The call for submissions is open to writers from any area, with most anticipated from the Hudson Valley and New York City. Last year’s call garnered over 500 plays from all over the world, whittled down to the selected six: five females and one male writer, from the New York area, Los Angeles and Toronto. Submissions will be accepted from now through June 15, and guidelines can be found at http://newvemberfestival. com. The final outstanding plays will be selected based on originality, range, production potential, storytelling quality and emotional resonance, and will be announced in early October. For the third year in a row, the NEWvember Festival was awarded a project grant from Arts Mid-Hudson Of note, NEWvember alumnus John Cariani’s Love/Sick has been widely produced since it appeared at the 2012 festival, while Alex Merilo’s The Widow of Tom’s Hill and James McLindon’s Comes a Faery are both set for Off-Broadway productions this fall. Tangent was founded in New York City in 2000 by Dutchess County natives Andrea and Michael Rhodes and Keith Teller; the company relocated to Tivoli in 2009.

would like to congratulate you on being picked from over 100 businesses in your field. We believe we can help each otherWe have a swap meet every Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. at Holy Cow Shopping Center, in addition to a flea market/garage sale. We find that when business people set up a table w/ business cards & flyers or “show how to do” projects it will definitely increase your business (and mine). It’s a great way to introduce your business to new/old customers.

A Blue Jay applied for the receptionists’ job at the new AT&T headquarters. The interviewer, shocked, told the Jay that the candidate had to be able to type at least 80 words per minute. The Jay revealed a 100 wpm talent! Not wanting to hire a BIRD for the job, the interviewer told the Jay that the candidate had to be able to take dictation. The Jay surpassed all other candidates. Finally the interviewer thought he’d be able to get rid of the Jay with “the candidate must be bilingual!” The Jay replied “Meow!!” Why would I tell you this in a real estate ad? Because I want you to know that Win Morrison Realty is a multi-lingual company with agents that speak French, Spanish and more, so call us… s’il vous plait… Bueno?

OPEN HOUSE, SATURDAY MAY 9TH, 11 AM - 2 PM 2 Easton Lane Woodstock, NY 12498 — Charming 19th Century Farmhouse and Barn with Artists Studio. Right next to the Woodstock School of Art, with a level acre and mountain views. Across the road from Big Deep, and close to town.

This well-loved 1853 farmhouse with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths on the road between Woodstock and Saugerties is a kind of landmark over the years for drivers between the two towns. Beautifully sited with its three barns and the mountains cradling it in the background, this 102-acre parcel lends itself to a variety of uses beyond simply owning what could become one of the Woodstock area’s most desirable estates, particularly farming as the land is arable, bordered by the Plattekill Creek, and stretches in a fine flat line to the surrounding woods. The solid farmhouse features some lovely old detail and the antique barns could easily be transformed into other structures such as guest houses or studios. But it is the gorgeous land that beckons first and foremost. .... $1,050,000

Animals

FOR ADOPTION; TROUBLE... Would you be the one to give our cat, Trouble, a home? Our infant is allergic to our wonderful gray & brown tabby (striped) cat. TROUBLE is just the opposite of his name.
