Last chance to see "Shapeshifters" at Hudson Hall!
Closing this Sunday, July 28, 2024

Names a "must see exhibition" by Hyperallergic, This exhibition celebrates the use of shape and color in two abstract artists: Hudson-based painter Allan Osterweil (b. 1943) and his daughter, Montreal-based painter, and writer Ara Osterweil (b. 1977).

In Allan Osterweil’s exquisitely crafted drawings and paintings, shapes impose an exhilarating order on a natural world that nonetheless defies all attempts to control it. In bold contrast to her father’s meticulous compositions, the aesthetic embrace of contingency and unpredictability is the very essence of Ara Osterweil’s practice.

Behind the Theater Curtain Club presents: Princess and the Pauper

FREE; reservations recommended

Written, directed, and produced by the talented young creatives of Behind the Curtain Theater Club and performed by a cast of over 20 local actors of all ages, Princess and the Pauper is a family-friendly, fantastical retelling of the classic tale, The Prince and the Pauper.

Behind the Curtain Theatre Club was created to be a place for previously unheard youth to tell their own stories. They began as a kind of “spin-off” of the Diata-Diata International Folkloric Theatre. When Pamela Badila retired from over 20 years of writing, producing, and directing her own stories she “passed the torch” to two local young women (ages 15 & 13) who were looking to tell stories of their own and Behind the Curtain Theatre Club was born. A place to tell their own stories, and a place where teens could write stories that matter to them. Stories containing life lessons, morals, and principles that are relatable to them, and told in a way their peers can grasp. The club’s mission is to create an environment where everyone involved is encouraged to come “Behind the Curtain” — to be a part of the entire process. The club is led by Hudson’s youth, with all adult staff and volunteers being “silent partners”. They invent the story, write the scripts, direct the cast, and design the scenery and costumes.

Link in bio for tickets and for more info!

The Mental Health Alliance of Columbia and Greene Counties Behind the Curtain Theatre Club will be hosting "The Princess and The Pauper" on Friday, June 28, 2024 at 3 p.m. and Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 7 p.m. at Hudson Hall, located at 327 Warren Street in Hudson! The performance will have free admission! Hope to see you there! !

Scenes from “The Mischievous Hyena” 🐕

In the final Dance Stories session with Nkoula Badila and Angel Lau, participants performed their play “The Mischievious Hyena” for friends and family! Kiddos made their own costumes, props, and wrote the entire show!

Thank you to workshop leaders Nkoula Badila and Angel Lau for inspiring curiosity and creativity in each and every student.

Ara Osterweil and Allan Osterweil:
Shapeshifters

This exhibition celebrates the use of shape and color in two abstract artists: Hudson-based painter Allan Osterweil (b. 1943) and his daughter, Montreal-based painter, and writer Ara Osterweil (b. 1977). In Allan Osterweil’s exquisitely crafted drawings and paintings, shapes impose an exhilarating order on a natural world that nonetheless defies all attempts to control it. In bold contrast to her father’s meticulous compositions, the aesthetic embrace of contingency and unpredictability is the very essence of Ara Osterweil’s practice.

This exhibition opening is preceded by a FREE conversation with the artists at 5pm!

Slide 1: "False Alarm," Ara Osterweil (2023)
Slide 2: "Moon in the Morning," Allan Osterweil (2022)
