"Feast" was an expoloration of humanity and their need for ritual to guide and define our existence. 

 

The designs and the dance were inspired by primitivism and tribalism from darkness, dawn marriage and death. The costumes were designed to move intra-dependantly of the dancers; made from stiffer fabrics they added un-natural bulk and silhouettes to the bodies in space. They were also designed to reference and warp traditional views of clothing shapes.

 

The curtain made of found objects such as rope, chain and bubblewrap which hung upon the back wall and formed the only set piece, represented taboo and littoral areas of change for societies.
