Berks Arts Council announced that the 16th annual “Frank Scott Memorial Art Show: The Art of Jazz” is now open at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, 201 Washington St., Reading.

Theater

Reading Theater Project announced itsr first online theater experiment, “Adaptations.” Short, solo performances will be recorded and shared online for audiences to watch from home beginning Saturday at 7 p.m. This online theater experiment will be freel, though donations are welcome. Audience registration is recommended at readingtheaterproject.com/adaptations.

“Theater depends on actors and audience sharing space, and we aren’t comfortable with that right now,” said Artistic Director Vicki Haller Graff. “So we came up with this online experiment, which fulfills our mission of creating original theater and creates a space where we can adapt our creative process.”

Performer and company member Kath Godwin had the idea to create an online dance to a composition by Music Director Chris Heslop. After Godwin’s first recording, Heslop wrote three more compositions, and the company invited other performing artists to join the project.

“Each song was a result of my own adaptation: not having anyone available to play my compositions in person,” Heslop said. “From there, I experimented with tempo changes, subtractive composition, and extreme-range counterpoint.”

Each performer was assigned a director, and they are working together online, using recordings, email, phone calls and video chatting to develop ideas into performance-ready pieces. All of the recorded performances will be shared online.

Performers include Margot Adams, Kath Godwin, Joel Gori, Emily Hannon, Bree Ogaldez, Christopher Paolini, Kathryn Pedersen, Megan Rose, Phillip Jeffrey Tietbohl, Jessica C. Warchal-King and Michelle Wasik. All music was composed by Heslop, and the project directors are James Damore, Haller Graff and Sean Sassaman.
