dressed.

made in collaboration with Made My Wardrobe

Told with a tender intimacy, 'dressed.', is a true story told by four women who have been friends since school. 

 

After being stripped at gun point, Lydia set out to redress herself with a new healing set of armour. Lydia now only wears clothes she has made. 

 

Combining choreography, live sewing, comedy and original music, 'dressed.' celebrates the power clothes have to define us, to liberate us, to hide us and to embellish us. 

​

​

All of the performances of dressed. are relaxed performances.
