YOUR Projects: Tiffany's Practice Makes Movement

This is the EXCLUSIVE video!! Not posted ANYWHERE ELSE...Shhh. (Permission granted by Tiffany Lui)

Last year I helped my friend Tiffany (an amazing dancer) showcase a few of her thesis design pieces at OCAD. She is mainly into jewelry design, but somehow ended up doing clothing pieces for her final project, called Practice makes Movement. Her idea was to make pieces that reflected the struggle of a dancer (countless rehearsals, physical pains, time spent preparing and practicing) and what an audience can only see as a few minute performance. This was done through using different fabrics and textures of materials, as well as the flow of everything when someone is wearing them (rigid, quick, or dragging, etc).

TEAM:

Designer and Producer: Tiffany Lui

Videographer: Philbert Lui

Dancer: Jasmin Yeung

This was a super fun project for me! It allowed me to finally take out my ballet leotard that had been in the closet for 4 years. I was also able to rediscover technique through some ballet and jazz moves that I had not thought about for a while. It was great to work with Tiff and see her pieces come to life. Philbert (Tiff's brother) is an aspiring director, so you can already see the quality of his work, his keen eye, and attention to detail through the artistic video.

Tiffany also has a fashion blogspot which I follow frequently. Please check it out here!

And here is Philbert's official website! You will find his blog, director's portfolio, and contacts there as well.

PS. I miss Tiff so much! She's moved back to Hong Kong to work in the jewelry design industry and to spend more time with her family there. Best of luck with work and your blog, Tiff!!
