Improvised Arts Festival

June 22nd, 2024

at the Star Theater, 44 Main Street, Cherry Valley, NY

The Improvised Arts Festival celebrates improvisation across mediums of dance, visual art, and music.

The Festival will feature musical performances from accomplished improvisors, dance performances, and projected abstract video art by artist Carol Goss and others.

Workshop components, particularly geared toward children and families, will allow participants to explore improvisation and creativity. These will be led by Angelica Palmer and Evan Jagels and will explore movement, new practices of sound creation (for those with instruments), and the creation of graphic scores to be interpreted by musicians (for those without instruments).

The Festival will culminate with a headlining multidisciplinary performance and will invite collaboration from local food vendors. 

The Festival is held in collaboration with Cherry Valley Artworks.
