Event Description

Fashion, always looking for new ways to reinvent itself: hanging onto the coat-tails of ‘high art’, theatre. What better way than through a free fashion show and surrounding publicity in both theatre and fashion media, whether opera, dance or dramatic intervention? The performance gains too, through updating sometimes moribund works, giving them a contemporary edge. And of course fashion shows are performances in their own right, with the audience being an integral part of the show. To see and be seen. Strutting your stuff. Performative indeed.

But of course all is not quite what it seems. Smoke and mirrors. That’s theatre!

Drawing on her work in both theatre and fashion, Anthea will talk about designers working in theatre, and maybe spill a secret or two about such collaborations.
