Join us for a rare and special performance by Mari Osanai at the Barn at Old Schwamb Mill where artist Eva Zasloff will be hosting the exhibition "If An Ovary Had Wings" during the month of December 2025. The piece is entitled "Anemochory" - the movement of seed dispersal in the wind - and will incoroprate some of Zasloff's visual work. The performance features a soundscape by Charles Christophe. The performance is approximately 45 minutes.
Mari is being hosted in Boston by Alissa Cardone, movement artist and Professor of Dance at Boston Conservatory at Berklee for a weekend of workshops and performances. The workshop is an opportunity to immerse yourself in 9-hours of Noguchi Taiso (Waterbody Movement) and is open to all humans yet particularly potent for performers and artists in all media. See below for details. Email - amcard1@gmail.com to sign up.
She is simply breathtaking, possessing a supple body that seems to have no spine, yet is anchored on a steel spike of consummate control .. - Dance International
