Bronco Bullfrog & Mod Dance Party

It might be 20 degrees outside - but on this special Saturday you’ll be wrapping into your skinny ties and geometric miniskirts to join us in the barn for an immersion into 1960s shindig culture. We start with a screening of the explosive 1969 blue collar British classic, BRONCO BULLFROG followed by a raucous Mod dance party courtesy of The Soundry’s Brian Kantor who’ll be leading the finest Berkshires rockers in our house garage band. 

Music that ranges from the Knickerbockers to the Kinks will drive you to jiving and bopping and tapping your Mary Janes as if London herself were in flames. Throw yourself into the frenzy of the swingin sixties - throw yourself into Mod.

Barney Platts-Mills’ BRONCO BULLFROG is classic of British social realism that was shot in a run and gun style, with non-actors improvising their dialogue. Called a work of “Mod poetry,” the film depicts kids in East London searching for identity in the post-war industrial wasteland of the British working class of the 60s. It focuses on the the Mod subculture and its outgrowth, the Suedeheads.  Influenced by Italian neo-realism, the film offers a gritty “kitchen sink” portrait of love, violence and aimlessness in the same London that produced bands like The Small Faces, The Kinks and The Who. 

Race Brook Lodge is a hidden gem in The Berkshires, at the foot of Mt. Race and a short hike from the Appalachian trail. The yoga & event barn at Race Brook is simultaneously rustic and sublime, steeped in hundreds of years of New England history. The Stagecoach Tavern is unpretentious fine dining, exquisite farm-to-table cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. Much of the food is sourced from Race Farm, right on the property!
