Pastoral

Barbican Theatre

Pastoral is the latest world premiere from Fisher Center LAB Choreographer in Residence Pam Tanowitz at Bard SummerScape, in a major new collaboration with composer Caroline Shaw and visual artist Sarah Crowner.

Fisher Center at Bard

Five artists escape the city to a remote farm, seeking a creative retreat and the inspiration of nature. They paint, write, farm, and some even fall in love, but extreme weather upends their plans, altering their lives forever. The Seasons is set in a near future in which the seasons seem to be out of order. Co-conceived by celebrated playwright Sarah Ruhl and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, this innovative work creates a new narrative from Vivaldi arias, ensembles, and excerpts from The Four Seasons, all woven together with dance by choreographer Pam Tanowitz. Directed by Zack Winokur with music direction by Stephen Stubbs, the piece uses timeless music to find new ways we can draw connections between our emotions and the weather.
