Butoh Dance Costume continued

I have been working periodically on the water tapestry light up hat for the Sub Zero Festival. I just completed the third large tapestry and can now focus on this hat and all the visitor participatory elements for the event.












































Here is the hat with some of the woven plastic bags on it. There will a bit more over the triangular sections. I have placed a light to shine on the dancers face. The hat has also been tilted and elevated so that Christina's face will be more visible as the expressions of the face are very important in butoh. I hope to get this hat to her early this week so she can practice with it. The elevating structure removes so if it is too cumbersome, I will remove it. There will be several large sashes to anchor the hat. around the chin.
