Sian Taylor Watson is the lead artist of the "Get Involved 17", the Nottingham Contemporary youth programme. I've been working with her on planning and designing events for Get Involved since March this year. Currently, we are developing the idea of the "Creative Selfie" project for a bigger event comming up in September. I ask Sian to comment the idea and the final product (the ballerina costume) of my MA. Here is the review I got from her:
"Costumes, stage sets, lighting and performers are all and equally important when waving together the ethos and essence of a performance.
The use of materials as an extension of the set is wonderful, not just making of the costumes out of materials and fabric that match the idea of the performance but that wll react to the performance. The cellophane will reflect the lighting used plus the movement of the performers will allow the colours, shadows and lights dance alongside them.
When looking at Salina's costume, it is possible to see the delicate use of colour and how the small detail around the waist adds an extra dimension to the costume. It is great how Salina managed to show the beauty and delicate nature of snowflakes by adding a small amount of embellishments. That way the snow falls is an essential part of how Salina has interpreted the costumes, giving her costume even more of a connection with the performance."
