Vignettes for Sewing Dances and Choreographing Clothing is a collaborative dance project between Laura Vriend and Katherine Magne of Winnipeg Sews, using scrap fabric collected form the Winnipeg sewing community to explore the creative possibilities offered by the global abundance of textile waste. We explore sewing as performance, we question the comforts and perils of consumption, we invite the audience to sew with us. And we sort, we sew, we twirl and thrash. We play in the soup of colors and textures and see what we can recuperate from what’s been discarded. This is an ongoing project.
