What we wrote about it at the time: In turns smart, sensuous and stark, (S) is a stripped down, solo performance of ‘twenty looks’. Together they create a rich, imaginary space in which to examine: fashion and the evolution of Cool; race, gender and class; and dance history’s canonisation of Judson and relative neglect of voguing; all staged on a runway as an ode to both traditions’ interest in walking.

“I am most interested in how the imagination can re-think the “omissions” of history. In this way, performance can be a way in which we collectively reimagine the impossibilities of history and thus make room for new possibilities in the world we make today.”
