A team of four design students documents how they developed a costume concept for an assignment to the topic of ‘symbiosis’.

Their concept is to simulate the movement of a jelly fish via sensing the breath of the dancer & based on that illuminating his/her clothes. Furthermore, they show us how they build the costume & what technologies they finally integrated in their prototype.

The Brooklyn Ballet recently started a funding project in order to build interactive tutus.

This picture shows an interactive costume of a performance about metamorphosis. The dialogue between the two performers has been visualized through light patterns that appeared at the back of both. For more information see the creator’s website: http://half-half.es/interactive-design/intcost/
