The Puppeteer motion-capture suit was designed for a series of performances about motion, gesture and communication.
In this edition the performer, wearing the custom designed soft sensor suit, puppeteers musical robots. As the performer begins to experiment with the system’s potential, her dance becomes both action and reaction.

This has a lovely silhouette – must be something to do with the dancer in you! I,m intrigued at what you are doing – mixing technology with fabric/fashion shapes? Presumeably for performance art? I love the green shapes on the pale background – it looks a flattering idea!
