Abstract
‘SESSIONS’ was a collaborative visual costume research project between wearable sculpture artist Daphne Karstens and dance artist Lorraine Smith. During a 5-day intensive session, the artists experimented with various (non-fabric) everyday objects on the (moving) body to create innovative costume pieces.
Varieties of recycled materials were used to explore sculptural and narrative capacities and the effect on the moving body. In each experiment, the quality of the material was used to direct the design and performance process. The experiments demonstrated how ‘simple’ everyday objects can be used in an abstract way to create innovative costume pieces.
