Guest Artist Karen Bernard Performs ’Ouette’
- Location: Miller Performing Arts Center Room 300
(5:00 PM - 6:00 PM)
"Ouette" is loosely based on François Ozon movie "Swimming Pool." Karen Bernard’s character parallels the story’s protagonist, an elderly English novelist who, becomes involved in a dangerous sexual fantasy that is part her fiction and part her desire. Bernard uses a laptop and projector to create different spaces evoking the imagined and real experiences. With video footage of floor tiles, patterned fabrics and human silhouettes, Bernard creates a heightened film noir that is quickly fractured by the non-performative technical tasks of manipulating the lap top and projector.
New York City-based soloist Karen Bernard is a performing artist and the Founder and Director of New Dance Alliance (NDA), a non-profit arts service organization that produces an annual performance festival, now in its 24th year. She also teaches, lectures and serves on advisory panels across the United States, Canada, and Europe. She is committed to nurturing an ongoing social dialogue among U.S. and international artists, one that exemplifies her lifelong commitment to performance.
Between 1986 and 1998, Bernard presented a series of solos in collaboration with Dia Center for Arts. These solos mark the passages of her life experiences as daughter, wife, mother and artist. She has been described as a “spellbinding performer with unusual themes” by Jennifer Dunning in New York Times.

Join Baker’s Bridge Historical Association for our next program on Monday, Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. to hear AU student, Ann Halbert-Brooks, talk about the devastating flu of 1918. As we deal today with the H1N1 flu and worry about its effects, we can be grateful we’re not living in 1918 amidst World War I and the severe problems caused by the flu virus that year.
Ann will give an overview of the 1918 flu as well as talk about how Alfred responded to it.
The program will be held at our Meeting House on Hamilton Hill Road (about 1/2 mile from the Alfred Station post office-fire hall).
Our meetings are open to all and free. Refreshments are served.
