Through the end of August, leading contemporary artists will create and present new works in this fourth annual festival. Surrounded by the Catskill Mountains, MTA will exhibit a variety of art, including theatre, music, and dance. Brian Rogers/The Chocolate Factory Theater’s Hot Box on Saturday, July 23 takes an avant-garde cinematic experience into the dance idiom. Inspired by movies like Apocalypse Now, this piece uses a vocabulary of pans, zooms, and cuts for a loud and violent show choreographed for three performers. Every Friday night during the festival a Food for the Arts Barbecue will feature performances and music along with food from MTA’s organic garden. $20 per show. $95, season tickets. July 9 through August 21. Mt. Tremper. (845) 688-9893;
