Dance of the Necromancer
Bright spotlights snap on. Music calls and bodies move, inviting gazing eyes from the audience.
Pearls are clinking, bones are rattling, the energetic circus act has begun.

The conceptualization of decay which inhabits this rather strange circus group is being illustrated in each outfit.
With this contradiction, fun and eeriness clash together creating a bizarrely captivating feeling.
Each member of this small fashion circus group has their own act based on a specific talent of theirs.
These define the theme of each costume, with personalised design elements distinguishing the characters from each other and allowing their movements to flow freely.
Agility was greatly considered in the designing of each piece. In order for each entertainer to be as comfortable as possible during their performance, their dynamic movements should not be limited, but rather supported by their clothing.
The green fabrics used represent both flourishing nature and decaying mould, life and death circle around each other.

By making these taboo and initially unpleasant themes dance together in the spotlight, they become the center of attention, the stars of the show.
Everything flows around each other, directly incorporating the cycle oflife within this assemblage, emphasising its beauty and importance in our everyday life.
