Description

As part of our Pathways 2021 programming. Before the sun sets, Conrad and Dylan will discuss local bat and moth diversity, ecology and conservation with a short slide show. Various moth species captured the night before the event will also be showcased. At sunset, participants will listen for the ultrasonic calls of bats flying at the property using hand-held bat detectors. They will also have the chance to observe illuminated contraptions called moth tents and the insects they attract.

Bat & Moth night is presented as part of PS21 Pathways: Blazing Trails to a Sustainable Future, our summer series of spectacle, performance, and community participation for all ages. Pathways is a creative placemaking project that fosters collaboration between regional and community arts groups and the Town of Chatham with the goals of sustaining cultural life and strengthening communities. Bat & Moth night is complemented by programs such as StoryWalk, an outdoor reading adventure for kids and families, Acting for Climate Montreal performing Branché, a circus arts and acrobatic performance created with Cirque Barcode celebrating nature, community, and optimism in the face of the climate crisis, and James Casebere’s Solo Pavilion for Two or Three, an architectural installation recently installed on PS21’s grounds.

About PS21

Established in Chatham, NY in 2006, PS21 supports innovative performing artists and creators and introduces their work to a broader audience, while also providing the surrounding region with opportunities for arts engagement regardless of economic status, cultural background, and age.

 

Five acres of PS21's 100+ acres are developed; the rest are meadows and woodlands. Situated near the theater are the Dance Barn, a rehearsal and performance venue, and two artists’ residences accommodating sixteen individuals. The PS21 property is also host to the Chatham Farm Animal Rescue. PS21's new theater and rural campus are important resources for both visiting artists and the community, optimized for the public's enjoyment and to encourage citizen expression and participation. 

 

The 350-seat theater is a state-of-the-art, green facility offering resident makers and performers the tools and flexibility for successful innovation and collaboration in the development of sophisticated multi-media work. Few other US facilities are able to provide this level of technical support. PS21 operates year-round, supporting performances by and residencies for dancers, choreographers, musicians, composers, actors and creators. The summer season is PS21's public highlight, during which a full calendar of performances is augmented with a myriad of events and workshops, many of which are free of charge and involve community collaboration with the gifted artists in residence.
