A research project investigating the relationship between costume and movement.
How can the costume inspire movement and how can movement in turn influence the development of the costume?
The project was conducted as a series of workshops facilitated by Benedikte Beate in collaboration with dancers Frida Billeskov Olesen, Paavali Kärkkäinen, Katerina Dimitrelli from the BA in dance and choreography at The Danish National School of Performing Arts. 
Dryade II culminated in an 8 minutes sharing for an audience at The Danish National School of Performing Arts set in the stage tower.
 Dryade II picks up an interest from the earlier project Dryade I (2021) of the idea of the human body transforming, mutating and morphing into nature, into new beings.
