Workshop abstract: The sum total of clothes, body, and movement can be called a figure/ an appearance/ a gestalt. Costume designers and choreographers have differing knowledge about what this figure indicates. An exchange of knowledge enhances an expanded and mutual understanding.
This workshop is a laboratory where clothes for dance are examined in semiotic, technical and sculptural perspectives. With the use of traditional and non-traditional clothing, as well as unconventional materials, a collection of widely different costumes will be tested and partly produced. Through simple choreographies (maximum 2 minutes), the same movement sequence is done in different costumes. The effect of the interaction between the clothes, movement, and body will be discussed. A scientific taxonomy and precision will be sought. The day ends with a 1.5 hour lecture on the theme “Costumes for ballet and modern dance in Europe and America, from the 1600s to today", research by dance researcher Sidsel Pape and Christina Lindgren.
