According to a press release:
 
"When Paths Cross," a multi-disciplinary collaborative formed by Fern Katz and collaborators, blends dance, theater, acrobatics and circus. Katz works with questions of human interaction /communication and simple, mundane situations which will tell a deep and complex story about the characters as well as the contradictions of the human condition. Her creations use dark humor, surrealism, and an excavation of the subconscious on stage. 
 
Fern Katz is a touring member of Ordem do O (Portugal), creator of dance-theater project LIVING DOLLS, and has presented her work at various venues, including Jacob's Pillow. Previously, danced in the works of Sharon Fridman, Olga Rabetskaya, Rebecca Pappas, and many others. 
 
When Paths Cross was Artist-in-Residence at Estufa Plataforma Cultural (Portugal), Keshet Makers Experience (New Mexico), The Foundry Theater (MA), and performed in Westfest Dance Festival and Spark Theatre Festival (NYC). 
 
This work is part of the residency programming this season at the Adams Incubator, which invites artists to use the theater's physical space to develop bold, original works that foster cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Artists-in-residence present performances, and organize open rehearsals, talkbacks, or community workshops. The Adams Incubator is supported by an Arts Build Community Integration Grant from Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation.

New Clothing Thrift Store Opens in Adams

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

Carlo is honoring her late partner, Tom Bradley, who loved to thrift with her.
ADAMS, Mass. — Trisha Carlo took the leap to turn her online secondhand clothing business into a storefront on Summer Street. And named it in tribute to a loved one. 
 
Two T's Thrifting stands for Trisha and her late partner, Tom Bradley, who died in 2022. 
 
"We loved thrifting together, so I thought it was a way that I could honor him, and then also a way I could give back to the community," she said. 
 
Carlo has been selling clothes she's thrifted from her Facebook page for the past couple of years. She found the building at 64 Summer St. about two months ago and opened on Jan. 11.
 
"There's not many stores here. And I figured being downtown like this, people could walk in, especially in the summertime," she said. "I know there's a ton of people in the area that love to thrift so I thought this would be a really good idea for Adams."
 
Carlo also wants to make an impact on the community, donating clothing to children in foster care, unhoused people, and those who have lost their belongings, such as in a fire.
 
High school students sometimes do their community service hours with her, packing clothes bags for these individuals.
