SPLIT BILL: Olana Flynn & Madison Palffy
Over the past number of months Olana and Madison have each been working on new projects which will be presented at the end of this month in a split-bill studio showing. Olana has been working with Katherine Kain and Evelyn Kirby, building upon her recent solo investigations into sound and movement to develop a duet investigating resonance, memory, and proximal vibration. Madison has been working with Maghan Baptiste, Sonya Marx, and Mara Poliak--together they have been cultivating a series of practices/scores that disorient and dis-locate objects, beings, and bodies to generate new meanings and possibilities.

LOCULUS at The Clark
Ximena Bedoya, an interdisciplinary artist and designer from Perú currently based in New York, explores transitional states of mind, body, and space through audiovisual experiences. Bedoya’s work teaches viewers to embrace life's fluctuating moments, following discomfort with inquiry alongside inevitability and absurdity. Bedoya is half of Lobby Art Editions, a record and cassette label with roots in Western Massachusetts. She received an MFA in Applied Craft & Design from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland.
LOCULUS opens. A dance collective founded in 2015 in Western Massachusetts by Five College Dance alumni, LOCULUS is the creative platform of Olana Flynn and Madison Palffy. LOCULUS's performances are site-specific and rooted in engagement with DIY artist communities, often taking place in bars, yards, and houses.
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. This program is presented in collaboration with Belltower Records, North Adams, Massachusetts.

LOCULUS at Making Ground Live
This January 2024, A.P.E. will host a special two-day live performance event to celebrate the reopening of the Workroom at 33 Hawley after its extensive renovations. The event will echo the pre-renovation participatory ceremonies of MAKING GROUND, a public art + drawing project, in which the community covered the 3800 sq-foot floor of the Workroom with chalked drawings in an invitation to consider creative engagements with land, community, space, imagination, and stewardship.
For this January event, 16 artists and artist groups—dancers, musicians, performance + theater artists, writers, and poets—have been invited to create a performance offering of 6 minutes or less. Confirmed artists include: Frieda Kipar Bay and Jesse Olsen Bay, Javiera Benavente, Mary Beth Brooker, Roy Faudree, Julia Handschuh and Anna Hendricks, Hatchery Youth Performance Company, LOCULUS Collective (Olana Flynn and Madison Palffy), Trenda Loftin, Emrys Maxner, Rowyn Maxner, Jen Polins, Gabrielle Revlock, Ro Sigle, Jules Skloot, Batya Sobel, and Anne Woodhull.
Stay tuned for more details.
