Bågander Costume objects

Linnea Bågander is a costume designer and a senior lecturer in Fashion Design Artistic Research at the Swedish School of Textiles. Through collaborations within the field of dance, she explores dress as a performative element working with movement, materials and bodies, and how they co-exist and create expressions and experiences together. Her work ranges from how material interprets and expresses the body’s movements to how materials give impressions, inspiration and movements to the body and how this enables new bodies entwined with materials.  Both her stage-based work and artistic projects have been performed and exhibited internationally, including Copenhagen, Berlin, Budapest, Tel Aviv and Hong Kong. Linnea Bågander is developing extended costume objects for the dance production ‹Der Fall› with Theater Basel.
