Making fabric selections for Cirque du Soleil is a huge task. The theme this year is Life and Death. These are dancing acrobats, and they love extravagant garments that engage the audience and tell their story. What are the best kinds of fabric to use in these costumes' designs? What type of fabric surface would make sense? Should it be shiny or dull, brightly colored or black, flat or textured? Explain your reasoning and provide examples when possible.
