- Biography (note)
- Mikhail Santaro, born in Marseille, France, of Russian-Japanese parentage, began his career as a painter and sculptor, presenting his first one-man show in Detroit in 1959. In the 1960s he collaborated as a creative artist, stage designer, and performer with choreographer Charles Weidman in New York City. Their Expression of Two Arts Theatre, sometimes called the Weidman-Santaro studio, also lent its name to a series of joint programs featuring Weidman's choreographic works and Santaro's lecture-demonstration The calligraphy of the dance. Although none of these figure drawings depicts an identifiable dancer or dance work, some suggest dance positions that Santaro may have observed in the course of his association with Weidman.
