Interweave Dance Theatre Performances
Typically,
dances are choreographed and costumes are then designed
to fit the choreography. The concept for IDT’s
2008 performance, Clothed,
is for choreographers to make dances based
on a costume design or existing costumes that are
particularly evocative and inspirational for movement.
For many choreographers costuming is an afterthought.
The idea for our 2008 performance is to turn that
order of things upside-down…for choreographers
to take existing costumes or to design and construct
costumes before concept, musical selection, or setting
foot in the studio to create movement. In Clothed
all these spring from the stimulus of the costuming
rather than vice versa.
These
shows always sell out, so if you plan to attend, be
sure to purchase your tickets early!
