about fold.
Two questions shaped the creation of this work: 1.) How does consumption of fast fashion shape our interactions and culture? And 2.) How do we express gender identity, sexuality, personality, and memory in our fashion choices and broader aesthetic?
Performers are led through various writing exercises and improvisation practices to generate individual performance material in addition to learning group phrasework developed by x2 Dance Collective co-directors Brynn and Sarah.
