Somatic Movement, Costume and Performance Research

How does what we wear affect
how we move and perceive
and what we create and perform?

BETWIXT

BETWIXT is an international interdisciplinary collaborative duo consisting of visual artist/costume designer Charlotte Østergaard (DK) and somatic dance/theatre artist Sally E. Dean (USA/UK). Together they aim to create a total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk) where the costume and choreographic material co-create both the movement and the costume itself. How does the material of the costume move/shape the body and how does the body move/shape the costume

In this process, what questions emerge about performance training and making? How does our cultural background affect our perceptions of performance itself?
