The close knit secrets between early animal dissections of Versalius and Galen and our lives today.The project centred around linking the dissection directly with our lives,lungs stitched to pig hearts showing the move of circulation discovery and birds carrying human foetus’s showing the developments of bird dissection and pregnancy.The items are illustrated on fabric and stitched onto a stained paper surface.
I’m a huge fan of the Original Alice in Wonderland stories,dainty,magical and a story that plunges you into a confusion of an imaginary thought processes,brilliant.So when i imagined the possibilities for set and costume within a ballet production of the story i went along to the royal opera house.
It turned out to be an experience…one which i can not describe as a pleasant one.First of all the dancing was very amateur not at all in a jaunty lucid fashion that may match the story line but simply an inexperienced one.If i thought the dreadful dancing might at all be improved by good costume i could throw that hope right in the bin..Alices outfit was a foul purple chiffon badly fitting dress that can only be ressembled to a tesco ages 4 and up fairy dress.The rabbit looked like he could slip onto brick lane un noticed with nothing more than a pair of round tinted glasses and a tufty tail and the queen rode around in an electronic dominatrix large red heart and hardly did any dancing.
The dance itself was often replaced with large pixellated digital displays of cards flipping over and the storyline was a mess.
It may be sold out, but i would recommend a swift refund for anyone heading out to see it.
WOW.i wish i had a pair of pistol hoofs.
