Fiber optics are transparent, flexible strands made from plastic or glass and are most often used for transmitting light between the two ends. They are most often used in fiber-optic communications where transmissions can be made over long distances at higher bandwidths than wire cables. Fiber optics are also used in illumination and are wrapped or bundled to carry images and even natural light. For this project, we used a grouping of fiber optic paired with high intensity programmable LED lights to illuminate ballet tutus. Light “escapes” from the fibers when they are bent and woven around the body and at the ends there each individual fiber is cut to twinkle in the tulle of the tutu’s skirts.
