3 videos • 1 views • by Wendy Osserman Part 1 of LAMINARIA is called the Devil's Apron by composer/musician/singer, Concetta Abbate who invited Wendy Osserman Dance Co. to perform with Concetta Ensemble in 2022 and 2023. Osserman collaborated with three stunning dancers: Lauren Ferguson, Cori Kresge and Emily Vetsch to choreograph this Folk Horror Suite. Laminaria is the Latin word for kelp, and the Devil's Apron is a kind used medicinally to induce labor. The following lyrics are by Abbate for Part 1: "Shadows marking eyelids. Flames that bleed where light shines through." "Tangled string, chaos thing. Alkali halo clouded view, nothing new. Alkali halo." "Taste in time. Repeating ourselves. Floods in time. Repeating ourselves." The video is by Miskosproduction. STONE CIRCLE THEATRE presented 4 performances of LAMINARIA in Ridgewood, Queens, October 26-29, 2023 Lighting Designed by Ben Demarest.
