2017 Kicks off with FKA Twigs ​

My love affair with Ms Twigs, aka, FKA Twigs continues with the recent announcement that she is to be NIKE's new Creative director for Spring 2017. Enter her usual quirky graceful magic and you have a marketing campaign that's sure to inspire!  FKA Twigs has produced some beautiful artistic delights of late, her artistic flair dancing across your psyche with grace, style and a slight disconcerting feeling that has you uncontrollably watching and absorbing anything she produces!

So, here are the latest offerings in reverse date order...​

Dec 7

In Baltimore on July 18, FKA twigs calls for dancers to take part in a workshop the following day. Around 400 dancers show up and are put through their paces by FKA Twigs and choreographers Ramon Baynes, Dominic Lawrence and Kash Powell. 

The result, a documentary titled 'Baltimore Dance Project', featuring the workshop and subsequent live performance.

Dec 13 FKA Twigs shares her abstract autobiographical piece as part of her one day residency at Manchester International Festival. Unfortunately the film is no longer available on BBC4 website, but you can access some interesting visual media here.

It's January and Ms FKA Twigs  has been named NIKE Creative Director for Spring 2017.

FKA Twigs herself explains: "When Nike first came to me with this project, I saw it as an opportunity to let young people know they have the power to become the best versions of themselves. I put together a cast of 12 incredible athletes to show it's about what you do...how you train. It's about how those things help your movement."
