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.

Hoosac Senior Honored with Superintendent's Award

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — A Hoosac Valley High School senior was recognized for her excellence in the science lab and beyond.
 
Kimberly Mach, top student of the class of 2025, received the Superintendent's Award during Monday's School Committee meeting. Mach is an athlete, honors chemistry student, and advanced writer, and is even delving into dark matter in physics.
 
"I think it's fulfilling," she said about the award. "Because when I learned that it existed, I wanted it so I feel like it's a testament to my hard work."
 
The Certificate of Academic Excellence from the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents was presented by Superintendent Aaron Dean. Only one student from each high school receives the award each year.
 
Dean congratulated Mach and noted that "this type of achievement doesn't come by accident," telling her parents he is sure that they are great role models.
 
Committee member Adam Emerson said he has been fortunate enough to see nine of these awards and it is always a pleasure to see the honorees' accomplishments.
 
"You and your family should be extremely proud of what you've accomplished," he said.
