The workshop is free and community members are welcome to attend. 
 
Participants can register here
 
According to a press release:
 
"When Paths Cross," a multi-disciplinary collaborative formed by Fern Katz and collaborators, blends dance, theater, acrobatics and circus. Katz works with questions of human interaction /communication and simple, mundane situations which will tell a deep and complex story about the characters as well as the contradictions of the human condition. Her creations use dark humor, surrealism, and an excavation of the subconscious on stage. 
 
Fern Katz is a touring member of Ordem do O (Portugal), creator of dance-theater project LIVING DOLLS, and has presented her work at various venues, including Jacob's Pillow. Previously, danced in the works of Sharon Fridman, Olga Rabetskaya, Rebecca Pappas, and many others. 
 
When Paths Cross was Artist-in-Residence at Estufa Plataforma Cultural (Portugal), Keshet Makers Experience (New Mexico), The Foundry Theater (MA), and performed in Westfest Dance Festival and Spark Theatre Festival (NYC). 
 
This work is part of the residency programming this season at the Adams Incubator, which invites artists to use the theater's physical space to develop bold, original works that foster cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Artists-in-residence present performances, and organize open rehearsals, talkbacks, or community workshops. The Adams Incubator is supported by an Arts Build Community Integration Grant from Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.
