FakeKnot’s artistic director, Ralph Escamillan brings you into the creative process for his recent work, Croquis. Central to this work is the materiality and structure of a garment constructed entirely out of paper, which is created new each time the work is performed. In this workshop, Ralph takes you on a crafting journey—sharing his unique process for building the paper dress. You’ll learn how to pleat, chord, and knot paper to create your own garment, while also exploring how when worn it can inform movement. This crafting workshop explores the versatility of a humble material such as packing paper. Snacks, refreshments and all materials will be provided.
Age: Recommended for ages 16+. Participants under the age of 16 are welcome but we ask that they are accompanied by a guardian.
