problems faced

1. displaying costumes

• the costumes need to be displayed so that the display can recerate the feel of the time when they were wore.
• the display needs to be three dimensions i dont want to pinn the costume to the board for display.
• displaying on manequines has always been done in several museums.
• cuming up with an innovative way of displaying.
• but i feel the best way to display the costumes is through manequins . but to give they life the manequiens to atke up different postures of the dance, that might be visually intersting
• or we can have moving manequines that have slight movement of arms and neck. but that will be too slow and the dance is actually is full of energy.

2 sounds

• sound form an imp part of any dance. hence i wanted to incorporate sound along with my object.
• sound could be placed in form of audio as well as video. but that might just take the attention away from the object.
• sound gives the enegry to a dance form, dances like kathakalli have a slow beat to them but kummatti kali has a fast beat to it. even if the visitor does not see the video by hearing the sound he can analyses what type of dance form it will be.
• it helps recreate the same atmosphere which is important to undestant the context of the dance
• this audio does not have words to it. its a symphony of lots of instuments palying together. therefore the visitor will not have a traslation problem.

3 text

• text is essential part of undestanding anything new. when even we go to a museum we are curious about the exhibit. hence text has to be placed which gives you a jist of the object dispalyed.
• at times the signage is not visible to the tousrist. so the important fact is the placement of text so that its visible and at the same time does not over shadow the object.

4- lights

• the folk art museum we visited i felt the lights were not properly placed . they were getting reflected on the glass surface of the display.

5 overall dispaly

• the overall dispaly should be able to recreate the experience of the place.
• object and sound i feel should be placed together because the together distinguish them selves from the other dance forms.
• ito give life to the exhibit i want to palce iobjects relevant to the dance near it so that people can get a better understanding of what all is used.
