SUMMARY:The Silent Type
DESCRIPTION:The Silent Type\nJune 5 – August 27
Reception: June 5\, 5:30–7:00 PM\nThis summer\, The Silent Type brings together artists and designers whose work explores the intersection of visual design\, natural systems\, and human culture. On view from June 5 through August 27\, the exhibition examines how patterns\, structures\, and processes found in nature are translated into typography\, sculpture\, projection\, materials\, and spatial interventions.\nThrough layered forms of communication—including text\, image\, and three-dimensional design—the exhibition invites viewers to consider how visual language shapes perception\, behavior\, and collective understanding. Both playful and intentional\, the works reveal the quiet ways design mediates our relationship with the natural world and with one another.\nFeatured artists include Tina Christensen\, Leslie Fry\, Michael Jager\, Susan Smereka\, and Elise Whittemore.\nAn opening reception will be held on June 5 from 5:30 to 7:00 PM. The public is invited to attend and experience an exhibition that reflects on the subtle dialogue between nature\, design\, and contemporary life.

SUMMARY:Friday Night Show: Morality Demonology at B&P
DESCRIPTION:Puppet show! Puppet show! Bread & Puppet will present an indoor performance each Friday this summer in the Paper Maché Cathedral. The show will premiere in June and continue to evolve over the course of the summer. \nAfter the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli\, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books\, posters\, postcards\, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale. \nOf the show\, director Peter Schuman tells us that\, “Puppeteers are in a state of high alert. The commanders-in-chief of reality are not only assassinating truth but have declared war on the innocent everything of the world. Morality demons claim divine origin\, govern the population with unidentified power\, and oppress shamelessly and unaccountably with history-honored illegality. Under and oversized puppets now battle the insufferable demons and the tricks of political mayhem. The world\, unaware of its upside-down situation\, must be confronted!”

SUMMARY:Sauna & Sound
DESCRIPTION:Begin your weekend with a reset: a morning designed to support nervous system regulation and deep relaxation. We’ll begin with an hour of self-guided contrast therapy: enjoy the heat of the sauna between cold plunges in the natural swimming hole at Madbush Falls. Cycles of heat and cold stimulate circulation\, release tension\, and support the body’s natural recovery processes. \nFollowing the sauna session\, settle into a one-hour sound bath with Bridget Stone. Immersive therapeutic sound frequencies deepen the relaxation that naturally follows contrast therapy\, creating space for restoration and integration. \nTogether\, heat\, cold\, and sound offer a simple but powerful sequence: activate\, regulate\, restore.

SUMMARY:The Upside Down World Circus at Bread & Puppet
DESCRIPTION:“Is it or is it not?\nAm I asleep or am I awake?\nAm I a cockroach or am I a me? \nPossibilitarians! We must demonstrate humanity’s upside-down situation in the face of the government’s depraved falsehoods. Luxury silence and despair must be replaced by revolt orchestras that radically oppose the radically wrong system. \nIt is time to unforget the revolution-in-progress and aim for the evermore on the universe’s shore.” \nThe one and only Bread & Puppet Circus is back to confront our upside-down situation! With stilt dancers\, paper maché beasts of all sizes\, and a riotous brass band\, The Upside Down World Circus is an urgent spectacle of protest and celebration. Following the circus\, starting around 4:30pm\, a massive pageant will commence on the field. Side shows before the circus. \nAfter each show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli\, and “Cheap Art” – books\, posters\, postcards\, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale. \nTickets to summer shows on the Bread & Puppet farm are $15\, with no one turned away for lack of funds. Admission by donation upon arrival for kids 12 and under.

SUMMARY:Monday Nights Theatre Co. presents: our place as nature: An Evening of Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Monday Nights Theater Company (MNTC) and featuring poet Sarah Audsley \nJoin us for an evening of poetry hosted by poet Amy Beth Sisson and naturalist-garden designer Rose Fairley. \nGiven the dual existential crises of climate and biodiversity\, what can poets and poetry teach us about being human and connecting as members of the natural world? \nSarah Audsley’s collection Landlock X (Texas Review Press) emerged from the landscape of Vermont as well as her identity as a trans-racial adoptee and both the flora and seasonality of Vermont are threaded throughout the collection. \nIn addition to Sarah’s oeuvre\, actors from MNTC will perform works by poets such as Franny Choi\, Louise Glück\, Ross Gay\, Amy Beth Sisson\, Jacqueline Suskin and other poets that interrogate the complex relationship we have as/with “nature” at this moment in our species history. \nOUR PLACE AS NATURE\, IN POEMS is both a celebration of the wild in poetry as well as an acknowledgement of the precarious moment we are all living in. This event is free and open to the public\, but registration is encouraged along with a $10 donation. Half of money donated will go towards the nascent native plant restoration nursery at the North Branch Nature Center and the other half to MNTC’s inaugural season!
