If you are in the New York City area within the next week, then I highly recommend you check out 'Melt' from Sens Production. This production features dancers perched on a wall in melting costumes.
The clothing featured in 'Melt' is made from sculptural beeswax and lanolin. These pieces slowly melt away from the dancers bodies as the performance piece goes on. Check out photos of 'Melt' from Sens Production in the featured gallery.
