Society's consumerist, materialistic culture dynamically explored in dance/music/sewing collaboration

Vancouver dance artist Kelly McInnes has teamed with musician Ben Brown and international musical sewing artist Lisa Simpson to create Mine Agente, an unique piece “which explores and magnifies our society’s consumerist, materialistic culture using what we wear as the main focus.”
