Accompaniment

Costume

  • Spanish music
  • A jaunty melody for the trumpets.
  • Lady wear a black dress with a patent corset and liqourice all sorts on the bottom of it. She has jet black hair gelled back with another all sort to pin it at the back. Her underskirt is pink and frilly.
  • Men - Similarly black and gelled hair, Patent leather jackets ( with no underarms - to allow movement) Tight pink trousers, a brightly coloured ruffle shirt and a candy striped black and white belt.
  • Costumes provide a riot of Bright colours and are all decorated with shapes and sweets that define the characters.
  • In comparison to act one the second act is bright , sumptuous,richly decorated and adds to the overall animation of the dancers.

Set and Lighting ( Physical Setting)

Choreography 

  • Bright pink, mouth as an entrance to sweetie land provides a sexual inuendo image.
  • the lips are sparkly and pink which add to the overall magical image that makes Cara want to enter even more.
  • The lighting is fairly bright with a pink dusk to it like candyfloss.
  • A sexual quality is emphasised. E.g the female dancer puts her hands on the male dancers' bottoms and in refute they cross their wrist in front of  her pubic area. Much to Clara's shock.
  • Spanish and Flamenco dancing; stamping feet  percussively, toes tap in and out, legs kick, sharp turns and lunges, hands clap in rhythm and wrist flex.
  • The female rustles her skirt , this dance shows off the liquorice all sort's vanity and their confidently portrayed eroticism.
  • Clara joins with them trying out this sort of femininity and ultimately being barred from entering by the dancers.
