Costume / Performance Designer
— The Role: Devising Performer —
@Ancona, Italy
Self-devising, site-specific and immersive performances/installations led by Geraldine Pilgrim.
We spent a week in Polverigi and Ancona devising a serious of site-specific performance/installation. Creating narratives by purely still images in the first stage, challenging the audience's imagination, following with Geraldine's instant feedbacks, we developed our works into a further level of complication.
In the second stage, we increased the quantity of the performers, using wider scene and larger framework, considering using an extra prop as well as one simple change/movement. The look of the composed work became dreamlike, surreal and profound, located at the coastline of Ancona bay.
Pushing the degree of difficulty to the final level, the final piece of work was an entire active, repeatedly scenes switching, sounds and props involved performance in the Villa Nappi, Polverigi. The audiences were the local residents and the artists from Central Saint Martins.
