Research: Fashion, costums that are made to move

I am researching performers, and how they use materials to displace space. I am doing this in the hope of learning how to expand on my own artistic expression of displacement of space with the use of the body as a tool of movement and as a blank canvas to work on.  My research is about exploring spacial movement through texture and expansion of materials in creating a space in motion that reaches and moves and reaches and moves...

Diana Vishneva: Beauty in motion, F.L.O.W by Moses Pendleton, Part III.
I am very interested in the combination of movement and fabric in this piece. In this dance you can see through movement of fabric how it can express displacement of space. Stunning in appearance as well as movement. Costume looks like a jellyfish or a dandelion in seed.  Lots of energy and movement.

First Born
An Amazing Choreography By Cynthia Quinn & Moses Pendleton Of MOMIX Taken From Movie Called "First Born".
In my research I found this piece which is similar to the dance above, in that it uses movement with fabric, and by looking i am learning. I am learning how the weight and movement of material moves and can captivate an audience. What captivates me is how the semi-translucent material captures the light and silhouettes the dancer as she moves. 
A beautiful performance piece with the use of a large flowing net material to create a gentle graceful movement which also changes or flows into an energy shift of being strong and powerful like the crashing of a wave.

In the next few clips below is my research of the use of light to express movement and energy. Although at this point in time I have no idea of how electronics work but sometime in the future I can see myself using light in either costume pieces or in interactive installation pieces.

Probes; Skin Dresses

Uploaded by  on Feb 29, 2008
Philips Design has developed a series of dynamic garments as part of the ongoing SKIN exploration research into the area known as 'emotional sensing'. The garments, which are intended for demonstration purposes only, demonstrate how electronics can be incorporated into fabrics and garments in order to express the emotions and personality of the wearer.

The marvelously intricate wearable prototypes include 'Bubelle', a dress surrounded by a delicate 'bubble' illuminated by patterns that changed dependent on skin contact- and 'Frison', a body suit that reacts to being blown on by igniting a private constellation of tiny LEDs
Bubble of light energy, reminds me of the glow of a jellyfish in the dark
