A ballet composed by Igor Stravinsky
Listening to the composition of Stravinski inspired images of forest animals in my mind, however, I wanted to draw on the Russian culture behind the ballet in some way. So, I drew major inspirations from Russian architecture, specifically St Basil's Cathedral in Moscow Russia. I wanted to ensure that dancers portraying characters like the Firebird and the Kaschei would stand out without matching each other. So, each lead dancer would be dressed in a specific color palette while the remaining dancers would be dressed in multiple colors, much like St. Basil's Cathedral is, making sure that the more solid colored costumes would really pop in front of a sea of colors.
