NORTH ADAMS, Mass.— A family movement workshop led by professional dancer and teaching artist Helen Styring Tocci will take place on Saturday, May 24, at 11 a.m.

The workshop is being held in conjunction with the Trisha Brown Dance Company’s performance at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.

Inspired by "Trisha Brown: Roof Piece" and the surroundings of Mass MoCA, including its natural and architectural elements, the workshop will involve participants in movement explorations specific to the museum's grounds and outdoor artworks, as well as group creation activities. The workshop is open to individuals with no prior dance experience and is recommended for those aged six and older. Adult caregivers are required to remain with their children and are encouraged to participate.

Tickets for the workshop are priced at $5 in advance, and admission is free for museum members.

Berkshires Getting Frozone Weekend

Staff Reports
The groundhog saw his shadow and hunkered down for the never-ending winter as more snow and more cold hits the Berkshires this weekend. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter weather advisory from 7 p.m. Friday to 7 p.m. Saturday for snow and gusty winds. 
 
The region could get between 3 and 6 inches of snow and wind gusts up to 35 mph, which will cause blowing and drifting of snow. This will particularly hit Northern Berkshire and western Windham County in Vermont. 
 
Plan on slippery road conditions. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.
 
Also prepare for yet another deep freeze (even freezier than it has been) on Saturday. Albany has issued an "extreme cold" warning in from 7 a.m. Saturday through Sunday at 1. 
 
The forecast has "dangerously cold" wind chills as low as 25 to 35 below. 
 
Right now, the warning is targeted for eastern New York State and the southern Adirondacks, but the NWS map shows the frigid air covering all of Western Mass and Southern Vermont and most of Connecticut.
