Louise Wilcox, The Mendfulness Clinic (Arts Weeks 2020: Online)
When:
—
Venue:
Online
'Join me at The Mendfulness Clinic. In this online one-to-one performance, you and I will repair our tattered clothes together, attempting to mend society’s fraying relationship with the fabric we wear in the process. Fast fashion tells us to buy new – but what if we celebrated the history of our clothes, and how it shows on the fabric? This performance can accommodate a small number of participants only - first-come, first served.'
Louise Wilcox is a multidisciplinary artist/performer. Her practice and work focus around her relationship to ‘femaleness’, exploring under/inadequately represented elements of gender. She is currently investigating how the traditionally ‘feminine’ process of crafting might help us confront challenging topics.
Wilcox is part of Dirty Rascals Theatre.
