Founded in 2008, Upstate Production Services, Inc., supports the movement to decentralize New York State’s cultural landscape. After many years of service in the Entertainment Industry, we strive to dedicate ourselves to the cultivation, production and management of high quality Arts and Events outside major urban areas. We believe that the magical landscape of the Central New York Region can prov

ide tremendous inspiration for the creation and enjoyment of new work in the fine and performing arts. At UPSI, we foster the creation process by providing artist residency, rehearsal and performance space at the 200-year old decommissioned Baptist Church in Mount Vision that we purchased in 2004 and at our 32-acre property in Westford. We facilitate additional performances and events through our theater and event production services, fabricating in our fully-outfitted metal and woodworking shop.

In response to growing division and collective stress within our communities, a coalition of upstate and downstate New York businesses, artists, and holistic practitioners are joining forces to present a three-part experiential series designed to cultivate resilience, connection, and heart-centered leadership.

Artists, clinicians, massage therapists, photographers, energy practitioners, sound healers, movement educators, and local artisans are contributing their expertise to create accessible spaces for healing and collective strengthening.

“In uncertain times, peace and community are not luxuries — they are medicine,” organizers shared. “We believe strengthening ourselves individually allows us to show up more fully for one another.”

These events model cross-business solidarity and demonstrate how collaboration can amplify local impact. Multiple upstate New York businesses are choosing partnership over competition — reinforcing a shared commitment to resilience, compassion, and collective well-being.

Three Events. One Purpose.
To strengthen ourselves so we can strengthen each other.

Attend one or all... or simply let this offering inspire you to choose how YOU respond.

Thanks for sharing.

The Visionary Stage for New and Explorative Art invites you to join us for our annual Visionary Dance Festival on Saturday August 9 at 7 pm.

Musician, composer and performer Johnny Butler returns to The Visionary joined by a new extraordinary group of dance artists. In recent years, Johnny has enriched our summers with two original scores to the silent films The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and A Trip To The Moon in his Not Silent Films series as well as meaningful and physically stunning collaborations with dancers and choreographers of varying backgrounds.

This summer, Johnny returns to further expand his new and unique genre of kinetic, physically involved dance / music collaboration, exploring the season’s theme, the art of storytelling.

Visionary Dance Festival 25 features Johnny joined by Michelle Thompson, Nick Alselmo, Jason Anthony Harris, Emily Aslin, Maya Lam, m i c c a, and Annie White.

Each piece will unite movement and sound, inviting the audience to experience the stories told viscerally, as the intimate black box style theatre allows the audience to enjoy close proximity and full sensory immersion.

From the Desk of our resident artist Michelle Thompson Ulerich
Performing at The Visionary this August 9, 2025:

June 17, 2025 Women in Motion
I performed at 20 weeks pregnant for this salon show curated by at This performance gave me the opportunity to perform with my baby bump, which is going to be much larger next week!

I am thrilled to be creating a piece with Johnny Butler that will be performed at on August 9th. I will be about 28 weeks pregnant then. 🤰

Johnny and I are planning to capture footage of the piece and then maybe find an opportunity to perform it post baby with the footage of me pregnant in the background. Let me know if you have any spaces or ideas for that concept.

posed this question in preparation for this festival ⬇️

"How does the art of storytelling manifest in your creation process?"

"Storytelling is threaded into everything I create whether it's a story about my Armenian ancestry, my journey as a mother, or the complexity of human relationships. Storytelling allows my work to feel personal, but I also aim to make the themes and stories universal in ways that create connection and accessibility for the artists and audience members. This summer I am thrilled to be storytelling with Johnny Butler. Johnny has been creating a series of musical works that feel like the waves of relationships. I am interested in exploring the life cycle of a relationship through our connections. Johnny and I will intertwine our movements and sound to create the birth and the death of a relationship with an aim to find beauty in all the parts."
