Look
Premiere, Evening of Duets, Philadelphia 2014
Choreography by Tara Madsen Robbins
Costume Design by Paula D. Davis
I had a design in mind for years of a large skirt with shredded fabric suspended from a mesh fabric base. I saw a rehearsal of Tara’s piece and right away thought it would be just right for my design. This is one of the few times the design came to the dance for me instead of the other way around. Then it turned into a duet instead of a solo. I had bought some wonderful fabrics in Los Angeles for this project and fortunately I had enough to make two skirts. I love the slightly unearthly quality of the images from the dance.
