Costume as Performance
for London College of Fashion 2007 to 2011
From 2007 to 2011 I was commissioned as a Choreographer/Director and Costume Consultant to work with the London College of Fashion MA Costume Design for Performance. I staged 6 shows in Theatre and Site-Specific locations working closely with the Course Directors and LCF creative design teams.
I was able to draw upon my extensive knoweldge of Art History, Design and conceptual thinking, as well as my choreographic specialisms to deliver some really memorable showcases.
Each Costume Design student initiated and led the design concept and my work entailed extracting the concept into a performance solo vignette and ensuring the full performativity of the costume.
