(Big Girls Do Big Things)Costumes design for Eleanor Bauer‘s Big Girls Do Big Things dance performance 2010/2009 “Eleanor Bauer invites the audience into the depths of the surface-oriented world of the performer, where the personal and the material are mutually imminent, where style is content, the ‘how’ is inseparable from the ‘what’, and the difference between fiction and reality is irrelevant. Navigating the folds, surfaces, and transformative possibilities of a too-large bear suit, Bauer performs a series of metamorphoses that challenge, obscure, and exploit her diverse capacities as a performer, to exercise and exorcise questions about the use of self onstage.”
