Dance at the Odyssey Opens with the Penetrating MARK by Marianna Varviani
Curated by Barbara Müller-Wittmann, the summer Dance at the Odyssey 2024 festival opened with the Selcouth Dance Theatre Company led by artistic director and choreographer Marianna Varviani. Varviani’s work titled MARK was first seen in January of this year at Highways Performance space in Santa Monica. Although I had some issues about the work, I wrote in my review “MARK has potential and is a work that Varviani should continue to develop. I look forward to seeing where it takes her.” On Saturday, June 29th MARK looked like a different work. I will paraphrase what an audience member who had also seen both performances said: “I enjoyed both versions of MARK but tonight’s version was much clearer, stronger and the dancers appeared more connected.”
