Hey arts fam,
If you’re like me, your calendar is probably already screaming for mercy—but trust me, you’re gonna wanna make some room. This week’s lineup across the Berkshires is giving major “choose your own adventure” energy, and I am so here for it.
Let’s start with **Harvest Roast at Stanton Home**. Intimate, seasonal, and community-driven? Yes, please. There’s something special about breaking bread in a cozy setting while local artists set the vibe. If you’re into supporting hyper-local talent (and let’s be real, who isn’t?), this is your spot.
Then there’s **Nichole Canuso at Kaatsbaan**. Contemporary dance that bends minds and bodies? Absolutely. Canuso’s work always feels like a conversation between movement and meaning. If you’re craving something that’s both visceral and thought-provoking, do not sleep on this.
Over at **The Foundry**, **Ballets Metropolis** is bringing that fresh, urban-classical fusion. I’ve said it before: ballet isn’t just tutus and Tchaikovsky anymore (not that there’s anything wrong with that). These dancers are serving athleticism and artistry in equal measure. Bring a friend who “isn’t into ballet” and watch their jaw drop.
Music heads, you’ve got options too. **David Lane at Adams Theater** is serving up what I’m sure will be a soulful, genre-blending set. And if world jazz is your thing, **Heard World Jazz at New Marlborough Meeting House** promises to take your ears on a trip across continents. Live music in a historic space? That’s a whole mood.
Last but not least—calling all visual artists! The **Berkshire Art Association** is open for submissions. If you make stuff, put it out there. The world needs your weird, wonderful creations.
So yeah, it’s another stacked week. Support your local artists, folks. They’re out here making magic.
Stay inspired,
—DanceWami
