This collaborative project invited students from the BA (Hons) Dance at Performing Arts Studio Scotland, Edinburgh College and MFA Performance Costume at Edinburgh College of Art, to create a performance with custom-designed costume, inspired by the work of artist Jenny Saville.

During a two-day workshop, students were introduced to a design thinking model to facilitate radical collaboration. Dance students created a movement piece in response to areas of interest they shared with their design partner, while designers designed prototypes around the movement, using basic fabrics. The performance at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art drew all of this work together into an innovative performance which responded to the methods, themes and ideas explored in NOW.

Featuring the work of dancer and designer pairs: Jace Mercy and Sarah McClintock; Jessica Duncan and Carmella Dalton; Katie Kerr and Chloe Lamden; Robyn Gracie and Becky Hollis; Johanna Padrón and Paraskevi (Friday) Koumpeti.
