Antigone Now
At The Center, Mosher worked on the development of a production of the Antigone of Sophocles, to be performed in non-traditional venues in the schools and stressed areas of Nairobi, Johannesburg, and other cities beginning summer 2015. This modern dress, “empty space” production, performed by a young international company, had movement informed by ballet as a central component.
