The Other Velvet (1999)

Picture
This is a scored work for musician and dancer. The score is stitched inside a large, opulent silk velvet skirt that is worn by the musician. The work relies on theatrical suspension of disbeleif…the dancer is not obviously under the skirt until sometime later in the work.

The work was developed out of a larger music and dance collaboration, THE VELVET PALACE, concieved in 1998. THE OTHER VELVET was premiered at the Putting On An Act performance festival, at the Perth Insitute of Contemporary Art in 1999, and is now one of Cat Hope’s most performed works.
