En/Un/Re/Multi Fold

Students from the Diploma in Creative Direction for Fashion and Diploma in Dance collaborate by revisiting the ancient art of origami in new and transformative modes, rooted in its underlying principle of the fold. The students are stretched beyond their disciplines working experientially with the activity of folding as well as responding to minimalist stimuli of anti-form visual artists. The choreographic solos that emerged are a dialogue between garment and body, with the body becoming garment, and the garment body. The project moves forward ideas in and around materiality, becoming extensions of skin, nest and vessel.
