White Headpieces

These headpieces were undoubtedly worn by the corps de ballet. Because many costumes along with accompanying accouterments were recycled in that they likely had any number of uses in various productions over decades.

It is probably fair to say that while the provenance of these headpieces is not known, accessories like these would have adorned the heads of the corps de ballet dancers through the years. In my photographing of these headpieces I opted to line them up vertically and flip the bottom two to the underside. This allows the viewer to not only see the construction and s subsequent mends over time, but it allows us to see the name tag of Sophie G. which gives us that insiders glimpse into this world.
