Research: National Museum of Ballet

Today I've done a bit of research. From a nice recommendation of the National ballet museum of Canada I've been looking at tutu and dresses. I found three very nice tutus that have really interested me. I was first interested by Adrian Wu's tutu for it's large-scale sculptural form and translucency. I then saw a tutu by Skanda Lin that I really liked because it used similar fold patterns to my work. Finally I was interested in the tutu by Metatecture that used sensory activated L.E.D. lights in the construction of the tutu that changed by the movement of the wearer. I really like the use of light within textiles and might be something I consider.
