"It has been a pleasure for me to be working with such a large group of children this year," said Hiam Scribner, "and, especially in the case of the North Adams children, seeing them envisioning themselves as playwrights with their first play being produced at Mass MoCA with professional actors - it is a thrill for them and nothing short of completely satisfying for me to see." Kidspace welcomes volunteers/interns interested in conducting weekday gallery programs, helping students to begin to make their art projects and working on weekends helping general public visitors explore the exhibition and make their own art projects. All of the plays are directed by David Librizzi, theatre department faculty at Berkshire Country Day School. Shadowbrook's Attic," which was also inspired by the Chapman exhibit, will be performed by Berkshire Country Day School's sixth-grade class, for whom the piece was originally written. The outcomes of her residency are three plays written by North Adams third graders, which will be performed by three professional adult actors. In a program funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council Creative Schools grant, playwright Juliane Hiam Scribner served as the Kidspace Fall 2008 writer-in-residence, and took inspiration for her collaborative projects from the previous exhibition in Kidspace, "Illuminations: Adam Chapman." On Saturday, in addition to hosting an open gallery, Kidspace will welcome local students and community members for several theatrical presentations and a new installation, "CRIBS" by Matt Bua. Toye said the project is focused on blending art and yoga to help teenage girls gain a better sense of identity and personal creativity. One of the latest includes the continuation of a middle school program called the Mona Lisa Project, which was first piloted last year. This includes both museum- and school-based activities. Since its opening, Kidspace has mounted 17 major thematic exhibitions and over 13,000 student and general public visitors participate annually. Toye said the new more open configuration adds about 1,500 square feet and moves the education office to a more convenient corner in the back versus the center of the room. The new space have moved downstairs near the entrance to the Sol LeWitt exhibit. It is a collaborative effort between Mass MoCA, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute and Williams College Museum of Art. ![]() ![]() ![]() Previously Kidspace, a 2,400-square foot contemporary art gallery and art-making space, first opened its doors in the museum complex in January 2000. ![]()
