“Bugbear,” choreographed by Dance Co-Chair Fernando Ramos for ArtSpring, explores the concept of anxiety and its relationship to the body and movement. Visual Arts’ sculpture and printmaking students pulled inspiration from the dance, and are developing prints for the dance students’ costumes as well as constructing seven-foot tall sculptures for the set!
In this video, Visual Arts Chair, Karina Hean, shares how the collaboration between the two departments came together, along with the printmaking students’ process of creating relief blocks. The patterns on these blocks will be printed on muslin that will adorn dancers' costumes, and on fabric to embellish sculpture students’ set pieces!
