DOLL CHAIN, Performance, Art in Odd Places (AiOP) 2023: DRESS, October 15, NY, NY. https://artinoddplaces.org/.
DOLL CHAIN is a group performative engagement using the concept of the paper doll chain. Six IGUANA Collaborative members wear identical robes connected at the sleeves to visually confirm aspects of unity and human interdependence, echoing historic paper doll chain concepts of friendship and community. Their structured improvisations stem from contemporary urban life and colloquial group dances that emphasize unity rather than individualism and division. DOLL CHAIN investigates freedom of expression in movement, non-conformity to ideal body types and performance art as a form of peaceful protest. IGUANA Collaborative launched DOLL CHAIN at 14th Street and 7th Avenue, moving to the 14th Street Park at 11th Avenue, Little Island and The Whitney Museum of Art on Sunday, October 15. https://dress.artinoddplaces.org/artists/doll-chain/
