Buffalo Robe



I plan on putting together a performance which will create the robe for the costume of my performer in my final show 'Transitional Identity'. Using an age old technique of felting. I plan to make a large scale peice so will need a number of people to participate as you have to roll and kneed the raw wool between plastic, to make it felt. So I'm thinking of getting the participants to walk and tread maybe to dance to some native music on top of the wool to felt it. Documenting the process. So the result of this will be a communal piece of work that everyone has collaborated to make I am meerly the orchastrater. Once completed I will use some of the prayer flags from my other ongoing project to maybe line the inside of the robe.
