LABORATORY COSTUME PERFORMANCE – development of SOLO work

The primal idea of this laboratory is to address costume design  
technique and directly integrate it into development of performance  
parameters such as physicality, performativity and presence in the  
form of solo actions.

The laboratory will be divided in two parts:

1 Costume design research
A quick overview in the use an posibilities of sewing machines as well  
as simple design tips will be given at the begining of the workshop in  
order to give the participants a minimum autonomy to proceed by  
themselves.
We will also investigate the potential of colors, tissues and forms  
and the hidden fascinating psychology these elements have.

2 Performance implementation
During the second part of the day we will investigate the relation  
between the item in creation process and the performer in research.  
Here we will try to achieve two parallel dynamics where the  
development of the costume will affect the perception of the performer.
At this point, the introduction of movement proposals, actions,  
discussions, readings, and individual coached investigations will give  
us the possibility of deepen into the imagery, form or antiform of our  
trip; always with the goal of achieving a plastic coherence. At the  
end of the laboratory we will review the material created by each  
participant in the form of a informal series of solo presentations.
