Creative twist on coveralls

As dusk fell across the
Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire,
hundreds of people wearing
the new DuPont Tyvek
Classic Xpert coverall
descended into a valley to
perform a spectacular piece
of dance drama.

Over 1200 young
performers from local
communities, 600 singers,
artists and volunteer cyclists
(helping to power the set) all
wearing Tyvek Classic Xpert
coveralls performed an
impressive dance routine
amidst live sound effects,
creative lighting, flares and
smoke.

The Tyvek Classic Xpert
coveralls, more commonly
seen protecting those in
manufacturing, laboratories,
car body shops and crime
scenes, were chosen after the
dancer’s trialled a variety of
protective coveralls to test the
flexibility, comfort, fit as well
as the ability not to rip or
wear out when performing a
range of expressive
movements. DuPont donated
2000 of the suits that were
used in various events funded
by Legacy Trust UK, of which
the Tree of Light event at
Stonor Park, Henley-Upon-
Thames, on the 21st July was
the striking finale.
