Ground/work 2025 Dance + Music

For accessibility questions, call 413 458 0570.

Choreographer Miro Magloire and his New Chamber Ballet team up with composers and musicians from the Manhattan School of Music for newly composed music and choreographed dance for five of the sculptures in Ground/work 2025. The performances take place live at 11 am and 1 pm; they promise to be a magical way to see the artworks anew.

In the 1 pm composition, Forbidden Forest, two musicians lead the audience along the trails of the Clark's campus like modern-day pied pipers. As they pass by the Ground/work 2025 sculptures on their way up Stone Hill, the procession encounters dancing bodies whose movements seem to emanate from the artworks. Together, they tangle and express darker tonalities with moody instrumental accompaniment.

Requires a moderate hike on uneven and occasionally steep terrain.
