Dance '21: Love Stories
Hear no, See no, Speak no
Choreographer: Erin Smith
Costume Design: Jenna Jamison
Jamison’s design included a transforming dress that allowed the victim character to reveal wounds as she was murdered throughout the piece.
Process
This transformation was achieved with panels of the white dress material covering strips of red fabric, these were attached with snaps so the dancer could easily tear them throughout the choreography.
The blue ombre of the skirt was completed through airbrushing using Dye-na-flow liquid fabric paint. This medium allows for the color to be applied specifically, and does not change the feel or drape of the fabric.
