Earlier this week we kicked of LCFMA17 season with the annual MA Costume Design for Performance show at Sadler’s Wells. The audience were taken on a journey of performance, influenced and inspired by poetry, literature, film and folktale. Each of the unique pieces spoke of character, concepts and emotion through the incredible costume design and movement. Below, we share some photos from each of the performances.
In the first act we saw Dream by Xiaolin Jiao and Knife and Bucket Stories by Sara Rodrigues.
