Sleeve on your heart
Join New York-based costume designer and performance artist Curious Orange for a five-day workshop focused on creating a costume-based performance. In this workshop, we will repurpose lost and found garments and discarded items to design unique and personal looks. We will explore ways to express individuality through clothing, allowing you to convey a personal or global message of your choice. Our focus will be on both crafting distinctive costumes and utilizing your body to enhance their performance quality. Throughout the workshop, we will source materials, design and create our outfits, and collaborate to develop an absurdist, eclectic, and sustainable performance to showcase at the end. What could possibly go wrong?
