Paxton created a new piece interrogating mouvement. How do we keep the spontaneity of dance mouvements through all the repetitions, rehearsals and performances. How can it fade and reborn, slightly or maybe completely different.
Going through a conversation with him, he also told me he wanted to use the music of Karen Dalton. Here were my starting points: the cover picture of Dalton’s music, and the idea of fading. A specific colour palette fading through the piece. Working as a group, the dancer would have similar costumes, but slightly different. Like learning the same choreography, but putting their own personality in it. And the colour would fade between the start and the end of the performance.
With this idea of fading, I also had the opportunity to collaborate with Roos Mikx. She used her knowledges and skills to experiment and use natural pigments to dye part of the costumes. Another Day I’ll Feel Another Way is the first performance presented in Amare using this natural dyeing techniques.
Another Day I’ll Feel Another Way has been premièred in Amare (DenHaag), November 2025.
O2B3D
Den Haag-NL
Choreographer: Kele Roberson
Costume designer: Mathilde Baillarger
As part of the Young Talent Project, a collaboration between the Nederlands Dans Theater & the Royal Conservatorium in Den Haag, I met Kele Robinson. He was in the process of creating a new piece, where paper was a central theme, and needed help with costume design. We took inspiration in the 70’s and the office wear, which was matching with the scenography he had in mind. After many discussions, gathering documents, I started to get a collection of vintage clothes. I made silhouettes for each dancers. I worked with a specific color palette, to have an harmonized group, get more or less attention on some dancers depending on their role in the play.
O2B3D has been performed in Amare (Den Haag), November 2024
