The photo above is of Clifford Williams and Gary W. Jeter of Complexions Contemporary Ballet in Dwight Rhoden's Mercy, which premiered in 2009 in New York City.The white mesh was dip dyed to blend into the dancer's individual skin tones, quite a task with seventeen different dancers of varying ethnicities. I match their skin tones to paint swatches, and then use different strengths and combinations of Rit dye to get a close match, usually a combination of Cocoa Brown, Peach, and Tan.
