TERRAIN (Terrain: Dance Fashion Photography)

Archive folder: Terrain

Kate Mitchell (producer, concept, costumes); choreography by Bianca Cabrera, Brittany Brown Ceres, Claudia Anata Hubiak, and a section by Anna

An evening combining dance, fashion and photography that links the patterns of women's bodies to natural landscapes. It pushes back against society's dismissive attitudes toward aging women and toward nature. Four choreographers created sections within Kate Mitchell's wearable-sculpture costume world, with a continuous score by Ben.
