My life In Dresses by Sorcha Kenny

My Life in Dresses is part oral history, part performance. Its about how we remember things, how we connect with people and the world around us. It’s a journey. I hope you will join me on it.Who will tell the story of your life long after you are gone? Sorcha Kenny believes her dresses will. Sparked by a fascination for second-hand garments, she embarked on a journey to uncover the real life stories behind the dresses lingering in wardrobes all over the country. Like photographs, they are mementos of a treasured past.

Join Sorcha and her best friend Fiona as they introduce you to her virtual wardrobe of stories. Surprisingly, this is not a show about fashion! The walls can’t talk butthe dresses sure can.
