Experimental Costume Workshop S/2025

The workshop focuses on sketching and shaping performance scenes with costume. We will explore how garments can become prosthetics of the body and support a narrative in the context of live intervention. I will share my practice as a fiber artist, with a focus on carrying diferent materials for costume like metal, large needles, and plastic.

Together, we will create storyboards, dismantle existing clothes, and hand-sew custom vests, experimenting with ideas like hidden pockets and stuffing for protection - while moving with objects that can be activated in performance. No sewing or performance experience is necessary — everyone is welcome.

☆♡☆

The workshop is structured as a series of individual sessions—complementary but not compulsory. You’re welcome to join just once, or as often as it makes sense for you. Sessions take place weekly, on Mondays, over the course of a month, in my studio.

Stitching Workshop DWH/2021

The workshop was an invitation of DAS WEISSE HAUS in the framework of Roberta Lima's Queer Way Installation. In this session we worked with yarns and different embroidery needles to stitch masks. Which were worn by the group for a collective moment of intuitive dance with music in the round room of the space.
