Manage episode 487108494 series 3592911
This week on The Italian Radio Hour - Alessia Discovers a Spider Web. When Storytime Dances the Italian Tarantella with Anna Harsh and Alessandra Aozora.
Join me in welcoming two incredibly talented women whose collaboration brings together dance, storytelling, and visual art in a beautiful way.
Anna Harsh is the founder of Allegro Dance Company, known for promoting and preserving Italian folk traditions through dance. She has recently ventured into the world of children’s literature with her debut book, Alessia Discovers a Spider Web.
Joining her is Alessandra Aozora, the illustrator of the book, whose unique background gives her work a vibrant multicultural flair.
Together, they’ve created a book that is not only visually enchanting but also deeply rooted in themes of discovery, identity, and imagination.
Anna and Alessandra will be at Istituto Mondo Italiano - Centro di cultura italiana, on Saturday June 14th from 2-4pm to share the story of how Alessia becomes friend with the spider. Craft time and tarantella moves are all included.
The event is FREE but registration is required at: https://www.istitutomondoitaliano.org/alessia-discovers-a-spider-web-jun-14th.html#/
Signed copies of the book, can be purchased in person or online (same link as above).
