Bard SummerScape: "Pastoral" at the Fisher Center

Bard College's annual SummerScape festival features two action-packed months of performances from June through August. Head to the iconic Fisher Center or the one-of-a-kind Spiegeltent and experience amazing theater, dance, music and comedy all summer long!

"Pastoral"

• "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. Setting the dance to Beethoven’s beloved Symphony No. 6 in F Major (the “Pastoral”), Tanowitz then removes the music, replacing it in part with silence, in part with a specially commissioned score by Shaw, which itself responds to and transforms the Beethoven score. The decor for the production will be created by Crowner, well-known for her “cut-and-stitch” abstract canvases, which evoke pastoral landscapes in magnificent jewel colors. 

• Venue: Sosnoff Theater, Fisher Center

• Performances: June 27, 7 p.m.; June 28, 7 p.m.; June 29, 3 p.m.
