Only Sadness Lives Outside
Site-specific dance performance: Oslofjorden Danser 2025
Costume Design
Inspired by the elements of change and personal speculation in the current state of affairs. We witness a fleeting chance, a moment to shine, a season, a passing—a reflection of nature and creation itself.
— Choreographer: Paul Blackman
The costume features floating shoulder fabrics that add layered movement and emotional texture, extending the dancer’s physical expression.The colour palette—dark blue, silver, and white—evokes nature and the tension between light and darkness.
