Reinterpreting Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet: Interactive Costume for Unthinkable Movements
summary
A modern wire costume with fiber‑optic and LED wiring preserves original hoop sizes and weight, restricts lower‑body movement and prevents classical turns, and produces two distinct interactive lighting responses — a slow wave when swimming motions occur and a bright spark effect when arms rise. The dancer adapts the choreography after five to six attempts, reports ambiguous body–costume ownership, and successfully triggers light feedback, showing that deliberate movement restriction can be a usable design strategy for performance, therapy, and empathy tools.
