Peter Minshall
Peter Minshall is a great inspiration to both Kinetika and my work.
He is one of the leading carnival designers, he makes effective costumes for large scale processions,.
From Wikipedia:
"Minshall's costumes have sometimes been called "dancing mobiles." "Mas" as he conceives it is performance art that combines the qualities of sculpture with those of movement. Each costume is designed with the motion of the performer in mind, so that performer and costume are one. "I provide the means for the human body to express its energy," he says. His bands are never merely costumed parades, but exercises in total theatre, using music, drama, dance, and visual spectacle to communicate a metaphor-rich narrative."
