Lost and found

(2024, 60 min)

​​

Lost and Found is a layered (literally and figuratively), interdisciplinary evening length performance.  In their second dance-fashion collaboration, choreographer Eliza Malecki and stylist Mary O’Keefe came together to create and produce a dance fashion show featuring professional dancers and models wearing entirely secondhand clothing that celebrates the personal histories attached to our clothing and examines the complex emotions wrapped up in the act of getting dressed in the morning.​ In examining the concepts of thrift and lineage, we acknowledge the power of sustainability, personal memory, and the profound impact that clothing can have on our sense of self.
