Presidio Dance Theatre - San Francisco

More than 100 original dance costumes from around the world were exhibited at the Herbst International Exhibition Hall in the Presidio of San Francisco. A simple arrangement of black ladders, ropes, and hanging costumes, constitute the basic design of the exhibition. Three sets of tall ladders were anchored with ropes to shipping crates. The ladders and the costume racks were kept in place by "sand bags" of cooking flower. All the costumes are regularly used by the dancers of the Presidio Dance Theatre, a dance school for all ages specializing in international folk dance.
