CUT 2 ON FOLD
Performances:
Friday 3rd July 2009, 7pm and Saturday 11th July
2009, 7pm
This July, the
Studio Seven
textile artists, working with choreographer
Marie-Louise
Flexen,
will bring two stunning Gloucestershire gardens to life with
CUT 2 ON FOLD,
a sumptuous site-specific textiles-led dance performance.
Quenington Old Rectory
and Hidcote Manor
Garden
will be transformed by Studio Seven’s innovative blend of textiles,
installation, and contemporary dance.
CUT 2 ON FOLD
is a multi-faceted textile-led project running throughout 2009, including
an interactive installation, a contemporary dance piece, and a
wide-ranging educational programme. The project explores the process of
making a garment - the journey from flat pattern to calico toile to
finished piece, and finally to the movement created by the wearer.
Garments created during a 3-week interactive installation at the Stroud
International Textile Festival become the costumes for the dance piece;
the dancers in turn inhabit the world of the installation - responding to
the themes of making and the inspiring garden settings. For
CUT 2 ON FOLD, Studio Seven are once again
collaborating with choreographer Marie-Louise Flexen,
composers Steve Skinley and Rick Morton (Familiars),
and professional dancers from across the region.

Following our highly successful Make Do &
Mend in 2008 and Textiles in Performance in 2007, we
are returning to the Stroud International Textile Festival with CUT 2 ON
FOLD, a new interactive textile installation. This multi-faceted
textile-led project invites visitors into a world of textiles, in which
they are invited to play a part
CUT 2 ON FOLD explores the
journey from flat pattern, through calico toile towards the finished
garment and beyond. Enter a mysterious workshop in which stand a silent
group of tailor’s dummies clothed in the bare bones of an outfit, each one
a world within a world. Visitors will be invited to embellish and add to
the installation, which will slowly come to life.
