In 1916, Ralph Albert Blakelock's haunting landscape, “Brook by Moonlight”, was sold at auction for $20,000, a record price at that time for a painting by a living American artist. Yet at the time of this triumph, Blakelock had spent 15 years confined in a psychiatric hospital in Middletown, NY. “Ghost Dance”, created and performed by Blakelock’s own great-great granddaughter, explores the life, times, and madness of one of America’s most celebrated and exploited painters whose brooding, hallucinogenic landscapes anticipated Abstract Expressionism by more than half a century. Created and performed by Erica Knight and directed by John Ahlin, this remarkable world premiere comes to Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill for three performances only, March 28-30, as Show #4 in BST’s SoloFest 2025.
