Resonance is a two-part therapeutic wearable experience inspired by the dance ‘Unravel.’  Utilizing vibrational nodes connected to an Arduino, the body is immersed in sensations correlating to the heart rates of the dancer.

The goal of the audience wearable is to communicate with the body through vibration. After researching where trauma is held in the body, a suit was developed that both soothes and engages the audience user. Aesthetically, the audience's wearable represents a physical manifestation of trauma with black ruffles extending along with the suit. The dancer's wearable represents growth through a flower motif and intricate organic shapes.

These wearables are based off of our dance about colonization which focuses on the Spanish colonizing Latin America. Each piece uses constriction to increase the viewer's empathy for the colonized people. One prototype constricts around the indigenous people while the other prototypes use constriction to manipulate the size and power of the Spanish.
