Proposal | This state-of-the-art paper intends to do an unsystematic literature review of the development of wearable technologies applied to artistic performance, namely in circus arts. First, we will try to define wearable technology, then do a historical overview of the use of wearable technology in artistic contexts, characterization and highlight some relevant projects; second, we will address the design process and the implementation of wearable technology, we will do an overview of the materials and equipment mostly used in these projects. For further research, we will do a previous approach to the performer's needs regarding body movements, concerns, and expectations.
