Just arrived in the post, my copy of Performance Costume (eds)@SPantouvaki & Peter McNeil. It looks gorgeous, fascinating & really useful.
It’s so lovely to see chapters by those who I first met at @CriticalCostume in Helsinki in 2015 & look forward to seeing again ‘soon’.

@NayeNayeNaye That’s one ambitious MA! @DrSarahGilligan’s #FCVCnetwork might have an event in that time frame. The next CC event is not until 2022.

Thank you @kitty_g_d @hare_today_ & @RachelHann (+others!) for a really inspiring #criticalcostume2020 discussion today. Such a valuable and open space for #costume centred conversations.

[Sarah Gilligan @DrSarahGilligan]

Loving Natalie Raven & Dagmar Schwitzgebel's provocative, engaging & humorous flash presentation for @CriticalCostume.
Fascinating intersections between art, religion, fabric, flesh & identity.

One of the aspects I love about interdisciplinary research is the lightbulb moments - when you find a critical framework to conceptualise ideas you are working on.
@kitty_g_d’s presentation for @CriticalCostume just did that! Thank you so much!

Had a blast @CriticalCostume Costume Agency 2020 today. Fascinating working group on costuming ‘othered’ bodies and then a very fruitful discussion about historicism and materiality in the mid 20th century after my paper. Just wish we could have talked for longer and in person!

[TU SCEDT @TeesUniSCEDT]

Lorraine Smith, senior lecturer in Dance @TeessideUni will be producing video presentation titled 'Who is choreographing the costume performance? A discussion on shared agency' for the @CriticalCostume 2020 conference archive. Find out more: https://t.co/DtbmuJyM6O

Finally recorded my paper for @CriticalCostume. Wonderful to have the chance to share Terry's Portia #costume & to know that it will be part of an online video library...But this format definitely come with a whole new level of nerves & impostor syndrome!

[Critical Costume @CriticalCostume]

The conference will be online and it is for free. Critical Costume 2020 Online Video Library and Exhibition will launch in August! More info on https://t.co/EwVqJEKw6Y
