A few notes on UNZA! and Expanded Salon 1

 

Grazi  everyone at UNZA!  Hiroko Komiya, Giordano Costi, Maruska Ronchi for beautiful shows in Italy. I was very moved to hear the reports and the reception of the films, the music, and the dancing. I am really looking forward to doing some more shows in the distant future, possibly in winter. Here are some photos, but I plan on posting more in the archive. I have already posted a few things on social media. More soon.
