The idea of clothing being a layer in which your body and mind are at their most comfortable is a concept that often plays on my mind. Furthermore, the idea that space and environment informs and influences the way in which your own body and mind responds to options and thoughts, is something that I am currently researching. So, it was in perfect timing, then, that this editorial arrived in my inbox, exploring both of these ideas…

Inspired by Yvonne Rainer’s revolutionary performance TRIO A, this is a tribute to the minimalist and feminist dancer and choreographer…

My mind is a muscle.

No to spectacle.
No to virtuosity.
No to transformations and magic
and make-believe.
No to the glamour and transcendency
of the star image.
No to the heroic.
No to the anti-heroic.
No to trash imagery.
No to involvement of performer
or spectator.
No to style.
No to camp.
No to seduction of spectator
by the wiles of the performer.
No to eccentricity.
No to moving or being moved.
