I am currently designing for a contemporary dance production called 'Aquarius'. I will design and make costume and set for the show which will begin touring from January 15th 2010. I am collaborating with Dana Kolesarova and Irene Cioni, who are both independant performing artists professionals.
The dance tells the story of two creatures who meet in a fantasy world where they invite one another to be part of their own existential world. In the encounter they dicover that they both dream of fish............
"Like fish we gravitate towards nooks and crannies - we constrain ourselves, we enjoy the feeling of unlimited freedom but, when we have it do we know what to do with it and are we ever actually totally at liberty to do anything?"
On Saturday the 5th I met with Dana and Irene and we began discussing ideas and concepts for both costume and set. Above show images of the two idea boards I have come up with since the meeting.
