Based on the theme of the dance, taking into consideration the dancers will be performing live on stage,(Mullanedancers.com,2017) suggest that the dancers costume must grasp the attention of the audience.,dressing the dancers in matching attire reflects the themes and mood, style, and emotions through the images and movements presented within the choreography to the audience.
Using research Similar to choreographer Tao Ye`s work, E.G. Tao Ye a matching aesthetic was the preferred choice of how I wanted the dancers to look on stage , however because the dancers in colours presented different body frames, heights and hair colours, resulting in the overall impact that it wasn’t possible to create this effect. I chose to go with the colour white for the costumes for the dancers, I chose white as not only is it a contrasting colour for the stage lighting background but it also adds a drama by adding visual effects to the performance,taking into consideration the costumes need to be appropriate to facilitate the dance movements so the dancers feel comfortable and confident wearing the costume, which benefits the whole performance as the dancers deliver a better standard of performance when comfortable and happy on stage. after looking at various costumes i chose to go with white three quarter length jeggings and a long white baggy t/shirt which are both made of flexible material to allow for movement.
