#Powering and controlling Neopixel Strips with Arduino and batteries?

I am currently planning out the lighting for a Foul Legacy cosplay that a friend of mine is doing, in which we will be using approximately 6 meters of Neopixel 60 LED Strips (along with a single Neopixel jewel) to have a purple glow come from the gaps in the armor. While I am experienced with prop building, large amounts of LEDs and Arduino work are foreign to me. Does anyone know what Arduino board (and battery solution for about 5 hours of runtime) I may need if I want to control every LED on the strips (approximately 360 LEDs)? I will also be running separate wires to each of the four limbs, in order to lessen voltage drop by daisy-chaining the entire system together.
