Abstract

We here present two interactive costumes deployed for a fairy tale performance of a children and youth ballet. These are the costumes of two underwater world characters, a Jellyfish and a Seahorse. Both costumes sense the performers’ motion and decode them to an individual on-body light concept, underlining the role’s expressivity while respecting the overall appearance of the show. A major prospect was to develop the interaction concept according to the choreographic work that evolved simultaneously. Finally, the artistic statement of the costume creators and the choreography are integrated concurrently, and resulted in a harmonious and aesthetically pleasant performance.
