Australian Ballet's Biggest Show: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Sukie Kirk: “I think the playing card tutus are my favourite costumes. When the dancers come on, they just look as though they’re wearing red and black tutus but then, when they bend over, they suddenly form a deck of cards. It’s a challenge to keep them soft and flexible enough to dance in, yet solid enough to keep the clean, rigid shape that forms the deck of cards. They were made by the original maker, who came out of retirement to recreate them perfectly. He had to make each of the four shapes by cutting a large tutu down to the right shape and then unpicking each layer to make a pattern – a really time-consuming, precise process”.
