Yielding


Costume for dance
2025

Yielding is a group work for two dancers and one electronic musician that together create a dreamscape for the audience to step into. The spectator is seated amongst the events , inside the space, surrounded by movement and surround sound that is visceral and intimate. The bodily expressions are magnified when the dancers are close enough that you sense them more than look at them as the sound vibrates through your body.

The costume is based on ideas of ambition, aspiration, decay and failure. Classic menswear has been distorted through a chemical process overseen by Mathilda Guve. The minimalistic body paint is referencing fine art and artificial humanity.
