I think clothes are all about movement. A piece of cloth with a seam in it moves differently than a piece of cloth without a seam in it. So, if we were working with a period where the looms were only 18 inches wide well, today you can make 60-inch fabric and why would you cut it up into 18-inchpieces and sew it back up again? People would think that was ridiculous but no, it makes all the difference.
At first glance, this year’s Keepers are a ragtag bunch. Their mediums run the gamut from good old-fashioned pen and paper to the human body; their habitats are classrooms, venerable theater stages and rock clubs.
But here’s where this diverse group converges: Each Keeper has talent to spare, and is an indispensable cog in the wheel of Twin Cities culture. For that, we have presented them with some fancy words, and a pretty picture in an attempt to flatter them into never leaving town.
Today’s featured Keeper is Stephen Yokum, who has been in more than 70 theater productions at the Guthrie.
