Join us for an exciting two-part program in the 1956 Workshop exploring Wharton Esherick’s life and work through movement!
The Dancing with Esherick program is a chance to deepen your understanding of Esherick’s practice by exploring the movements and natural rhythms that resonated throughout his creative life. The program begins with an introductory eurythmy workshop led by Sea-Anna Vasilas, who joins us from the anthroposophical Threefold Community in Spring Valley, New York where she lives and works. A break with light fare, refreshments, and a Studio open house follows. The program concludes with a talk by WEM Director of Interpretation & Associate Curator of Special Collections on the museum’s spring exhibition. Holly’s talk Wharton Esherick’s Rhythmic Dance explores the influence of modern dance as a catalyst for creating rhythmic art that is expressed in some of his earliest wood carvings.
