Example:
Describe a costume:
In Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker! The female
Liquorice Allsorts dancer wears a black glossy corset with very thin vertical
white stripes, and a black Spanish style mid length skirt. The skirt is
embroidered with large Liquorice Allsorts sweets and has a pink lining. She wears
a black bolero style jacket with a pink lining. This has small Liquorice
Allsorts sweets attached to it. She wears black Flamenco shoes with a heel. Her
hair is black and slicked down to her head in a wavy pattern that emulates
strings of Liquorice.
Example:
Explain how the costume contributes to the piece:
The Spanish
style shoes and skirt identify and compliment the Spanish style of dance and
music of the Liquorice Allsorts section. Her slicked down wavy hair adds humour
to the piece because it looks like strings of liquorice and is an unrealistic
interpretation of hair. The Spanish style skirt adds additional movement to
this section as it swishes with her hips and she moves it from side to side
with her hands. This adds more interest to the piece because it exaggerates her
actions and dynamics. The 2 male Liquorice allsorts wear complementary costumes
with black glossy jackets and bright pink trousers. This identifies the dancers
as a group and also the difference between genders.
