ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response – a pleasant tingling sensation beginning on the scalp and moving down the neck, which can be triggered by a delicate or satisfying auditory or visual experience.
In this ASMR video, watch and listen to Senior Textile Conservator Susana Fajardo as she humidifies a tutu worn by London Festival Ballet (now English National Ballet) prima ballerina Belinda Wright in the ballet Harlequinade. See how she carefully places acid-free tissue paper between the layers of the garment, and steams it to relax the folds in the tulle which have formed after being in storage.
