Hot Hands: Kamperett for Madeline Hollander

New York-based artist, choreographer, and dancer Madeline Hollander explores the evolution of human body movement and the intersection between choreography and visual art. At Wallach Art Gallery in New York City, Hollander presented her work "Hot Hands" as part of the exhibition Growing Sideways: Performing Childhood curated by Piper Marshall.

In Hot Hands, six dancers—each wearing Kamperett Etude Dresses in Black and White—"draw choreographic inspiration from the reflex-driven hand game of its title, as well as other archetypal clapping games found across the globe. The collaborative piece taps into the dancers' muscle memories and childhoods, and playfully explores the corporeal vocabularies articulating fake-outs, flinches, anticipation, concentration, keeping score, and breaking rules. The installation presents 6 locally-sourced inverted tables that have been converted into 'roundabouts,' a revolving piece of playground equipment. These spinning structures inform the dancers' trajectories, with arrows indicating their next move as they cycle through the game ad infinitum."

See excerpts of Hot Hands and experience the playful quality of the Etude Dress. A shirt dress in semi-sheer Japanese voile, the Etude is designed for movement and play.
