Thanks, Donna!
Let me know if you have a costume designer with whom I should speak!
Cheers, CH

I would love to see the human dancers with a long train, to see how it moves in the water and if the dolphins are intrigued by it and interact with it.
As costume is an aspect of a dancer and dance, I’d be interested in the role that fashion plays. For example, if there are two dancers, if one has a train or attire that has glittering beads or sparkles, and one is of plain fabric, to see if there is a difference in dolphin preference and behavior / attraction and interaction.
Also I’d be interested in an experiment where combinations of movement and costume are explored. If the sparkly-costumed dancer has awkward movements, and the plainly attired dancer has beautiful movements, and they are dancing at the same time – which dancer will the dolphins choose to interact with (and do different dolphin personalities make different choices).
