Accompaniment

Costume

  • Music illustrates the falling of snow and the blizzard. The opening notes represent the first flakes of the snow.
  • Trills on the piccolo and bells' chime represent a chill in the air and the sparkling of the snow.
  • Symbols crash as the tempo build into a climax which is the snow whipping into drifts and getting heavier.
  • Bourne uses the music to show the magical vision of the frozen pond and the new found freedom that the children have
  • The music accompanied the storm underpins the sense of betrayal and emotional turmoil of Clara's feelings.
  • Clara wears her orphanage nightclothes  but other orphans wear skating outfits from a variety of historical periods .
  • Each dancer has an induvidual style
  • Princess sugar is dressed in pink , the smae colour as her doll from earlier in the performance
  • You can still tell adult from child as Matron is wearing a full length skirt not a knee length skirt which the orphans are wearing. this reflects the historical era.

Lighting and set ( physical setting) 

Choreography

  • Smoke enhances the moment by disguising the feet to represent ice being sprayed or to show the speed of travel and it makes the whole scene a little more realistic.
  • Snow begins to fall and the children react realistically and individually  Some throw the snow ,  try to catch it , eat it,stand with their arms spread in the middle
  • Lighting is kept dim to keep the snow looking magical and illuminating
  • A low center of gravity, posture forward, sliding steps and swinging arms create the effect of Ice skating
  • Cross hand holds creates the impression of gliding
  • Skirts are shaken by the dances to show a speed of which they are travelling on ice - that they are fluttering in the wind
  • Circular and linking patterns sowing futhermore that the dancers are skating
  • Male dancers move backwards rapidly to look like the women are travelling at high speed even though they are stationary on the stage.
  • Clara throws herself onto the giant pillow - a reminder which suggests that she is in her bed dreaming these scenes.
