Cut & Mend
The philosophy of wabi-sabi, the beauty of things imperfect, serves as a guideline to develop various techniques for mending a cut, around which evolves a substantial limited-edition collection (2010).
Segments of the collection, a first-time collaboration with Meg Stuart, are filmed for Claudia Hill’s fashion/dance video “Breaking the Circle” that screened at film festivals around the world: Preview at Sommerbar, Tanz im August 2011, Berlin. Premiere April 2012 at the Independent Film Magazine Quarterly Festival, Los Angeles. Shown at Pineapple Underground Film Festival 2012, Hong Kong, Festival International de Video Danse de Bourgogne 2013, France, American Dance Festival 2013, North Carolina, and Cinedans 2013, Amsterdam. In Rotation at Ikono TV. In the Catalogue at numeridanse.tv.
