UNTITLED
In Development
This new dance theater solo explores themes of nostalgia, daydreaming, and growing up. Through dynamic movement and over-the-top theatrics, it asks how real life merges and diverges from the romanticized tales of books, movies, and memory.

DOWNSTREAM
August 2024
Dance Boise
This duet represents the flow of a river, from the trickling headwaters to the turbulent ocean. It started with repetitive gestures, but through the process, additional textures and reiterations arose to express the dynamic storylines inside the ever-moving entity that is a river.

ECLIPSING, IN FOUR
November 2023
Idaho Dance Theatre
I purposefully came into this process without set plans. I taught a phrase, and we manipulated it into gestures, floorwork, duets, and group sections. I asked the dancers to create solos by doing the "opposite" of what I taught them. "Opposite" was up to interpretation. In the final product, I see elements of push and pull, of people taking up space and others encroaching upon that space. It feels like something is slowly intruding onto this scene, but we don't quite know what that is.

TECTONIC
December 2021
CPR - Center for Performance Research, Brooklyn
Tectonic started as a series of improvisational dance videos filmed in various natural landscapes. The piece coalesces movement from those videos and uses it to explore the concept of sustainability. Tectonic examines the cyclic systems that sustain Earth and questions how humanity fits into them. When does objective ecological science turn into expressive human interaction, and how can those two aspects of life coexist?​

THE FIELD
2021, Presented at Film Festivals Internationally
The Field blossomed from an early-pandemic introspection. Set in the foothills surrounding Boise, Idaho, it depicts a high desert in late summer colored in drab browns of sandstone and dying grasses. By exploring how a dancer’s movement interacts with this setting, the film delves into themes of decay, renewal, connection, and isolation. Following an arc of sunrise to sunset, it draws attention to the brilliance of environmental systems as they transition and regenerate.
Direction, Choreography, & Performance: Sadi Mosko
Video & Editing: William Bowers
Original Score: Jun Campion​
BEACHED
2020, Official Selection of 92Y Mobile Dance Film Festival
Beached, a dance film, utilizes tropes from mystery novels and explorations of negative space to create a quick, tense, and somewhat comical scene featuring a girl, a vacant beach, and an unexpected visitor.
Direction, Choreography, Performance, & Editing: Sadi Mosko Created as part of the Dance/Lens Workshop taught by Alexandra Beller and Cara Hagan
SUITED
Original Duet, May 2017
Glicker Milstein Theatre, Barnard College, NYC
Revised Duet, March 2018
Treefort Music Fest, Boise, ID
SUITED uses space and relationships to delve into the perceptions and expectations of femininity inside a divisive yet inclusive modern world. It investigates individual identity within a community, exploring connections between organization, chance, and chaos. Through vigorous movement and multiple decks of playing cards, SUITED examines how the intermingling of seemingly opposite phenomena shapes the world around us.
