Recently, BAJ brought movement and craftsmanship together for a special collaborative event with London Contemporary Dance School (LCDS) at The Place, one of Europe’s leading centres for contemporary dance, where the artistry of dance met the world of jewellery design.
Exploring the theme of connection
Inspired by the concept of “Connection,” our jewellery students collaborated with nine contemporary dance students from The Place to create performance pieces. Through bespoke choreography, the dancers brought each piece to life, illustrating the theme through movement and performance. Over 70 guests attended the evening to witness the innovative exhibition in a live setting in Camden.
With changeable jewellery designs influenced by concepts ranging from the dynamics of friendship to the frailty of emotional connection, each performance examined the relationship between jewellery and movement. To accompany the journey of movement and adornment, BAJ students also created ‘diffusion’ pieces – a secondary piece of wearable jewellery that continued the theme of their project. The show was a one-of-a-kind production that examined jewellery as a component of living artwork rather than just as an accessory.
