Connecting Thread unfolds out of the ambivalent necessity for tension and stretch in the dancing body, textile handcrafts and the social fabric. In this 6 week project for people with or without dance experience, Victoria guided participants through her artistic research and the creative process from ideation to performing including observation, reflection and embodying gestures of sewing, knitting, and weaving to build dance phrases.
Deeper Groove Session & Contemplative Groove classes create space for activating mind and body through different modalities of mindfulness and groove.
Animate Materials (February 2025) is a performance project for people with or without dance training. This dialogue for movers and materials is a creative process which invites a shift in our self-perception and the textile objects we encounter every day. What do we know about the fabrics we use? Could the garments we wear become partners in movement? Can elements of sewing become an outline for creating dance?
