Yuko Kawaguti's Costumes Analysis
Costumes definitely contributed to the hypnotic effect that their free program makes. Deep blue looks elegant and at the same time they are not too dramatic nor dark. It helped to create the right mood before the music started. Yuko Kawaguti's dress has something demonic... Maybe it is the decoration that adorns the bodice and sleeves like frosty pattern, or the design of the neck. The dress is not suitable for everyone, and not for every program, but in this case it is a precise hit.

Talking about Alexander Smirnov's costume, I agree with choosin one color for both skaters. With a closer look on a shirt we can find an interesting finishing - resembling a rope, or even a snake - something magical again. Perhaps, if we consider costumes alone

    In Relation to “Flesh and Blood” Discuss Andersons’ Use of Dancers, Costumes and Movement Content. Provide Detailed Examples from the Choreography.

    The costumes are of a medieval style, we know this from the design of the dress as they have square necks and tight fitting wrist length sleeves much like the dresses that were worn in that time period. The dresses reach ankle length on each of the dances and have a fitted torso with a dropped v-waist which then falls into a slightly gathered, loose material lower half which flows down from the waist to the ankle. In this piece I believe it is important for the dresses to be fitted on the arms and torso area as these are the main areas of which are used in the contact work such as lifts- and it then makes it easier to perform these moves as dancers can get a better grip on each other. There are also many intricate arm and hand movements where dancers have to intertwine with each other- therefore the tight fitting arms ensure that the moves can be performed with clarity and precision.…

    Machete and Tron Review

    The movies Art Direction consists on contrast of colors, the black costumes and black environment vs. the neon lights on them (blue lights for the good guys and orange for the bad ones), this goes further during the lightcycle races where the bikes leave light trails behind them, Castor/Zuse ‘s club has a different approach to it with white and light blue dominance, the 4 sirens that Sam meets just before the Grid arena are also suited in a different manner with white suits instead of black ones and operate as if they are robots.…

    The use of colors, geometrics shapes, cones, feathers and other material make the outfit unique for both men and women.

No matter how sophisticated the dance is, the dancers managed to preform it in a perfect manner.…

    Orlando Shakes Theatre Play

    The Sharks a Puerto Rican gang wore more traditional style spanish clothing that always incorporated the colors red and black. The Jets a rivaling white gang wore clothing time appropriate for a 1960’s teenager, like collared bowling shirts, and plain t-shirts. The Jets also kept with a color scheme of blue and white. One of my favorite scenes that sums up the great job the costumes did on making the play great was when Anita, the girlfriend of Bernardo, at the beginning of the play is creating a dress for Maria, Bernardo's sister, who is constantly teasing Anita telling her that the dress should not make her look to up tight. After a good bit of whining Maria finally puts on a beautiful white dress, and continues to spin in front of the mirror admiring herself. In one of the most moving scenes of the play when everyone on stage is wearing white to symbolize purity, and innocence after two influential characters have been stabbed to death. The people who have been stabbed come out in the same white clothing, but it is covered in blood to show. This choice of clothing shows the death of innocence of the young boys who have been corrupted after the murders they committed.…

    Miracle On Ice Analysis

    It is almost done with a blurriness to it. The texture of this whole painting looks almost as if it would have a bumpy feel to it simply because of the brush strokes and the blurriness illusion it portrays. The entire painting really only shows, from what I can see, three main colors. It shows a lot of blue, red and white. Which is obviously fitting because after all they are Team USA. Besides these three colors that take up just about the entire painting, we see hints of yellow in the background on the bottom of the boards, and we see a little bit of black from the team's skates. A little bit of tan can be seen on the players' hockey sticks whether they be in their hands or in the air from the celebration. There are definitely lines that separate throughout the painting but it is more of a soft line if that makes sense. All the colors almost blend together and are mixed in very nicely. What is so unique about this particular painting to me is the ice. Ice in every rink is painted white. There are lines of red and blue but the main surface is white. In this painting, Lopa has the whole ice surface blue and red. Almost as if the colors from the team's jerseys are bleeding out. I think the reason he does this is to show the importance of these colors and this game. The crowd in the background is made up of nothing but red and blue which gives a sense of the whole crowd almost leaking onto the ice. The red and blue is the colors of the entire nation that this hockey game…

    Hairspray: A Dance Analysis

    As they stage was quite large, the structures had a good proprtaration to the stage itself. The structures were also decorated according to the 1960s, with bright colors and having signs that say “whites only”. The structures that correspond with the scene were rolled out, making it very easy to identify where the characters were. In addition, there was a white backdrop, and a different colors were projected, according to the mood of that scene. For example, when the blacks were jailed for protesting, the color red was shown to demonstrate both their anger for being jailed as well as to illistrature their passion for the particular cause, which was equal rights. In addition, when Seaweed intrudes Penny’s house in order to free penny from her “bed arrest” the color blue is projected to show his loyalty to her, despite all the consequences that may come from it. The combination of a white backdrop with movable structures made the portrayal of emotions very effective thought the show. Although the technical aspects of the production were outstanding, I felt that the costumes and makeup lacked creativity. Most of the characters in the show had identical costumes to those in the movie hairspray. I was very frustrated by this, as many highschoolers like to express themselves in their own ways, and as a result, make uo a very diverse population. Since the show was produced in a high school atmosphere, I expected the costumes to express to be an original take on the actor’s perspective. However, the costumes did do a very nice job portraying the time period. As Hairspray is a musical, I found the music aspect of the performance outstanding. Both the orchestras and character’s voices combined simously. I was blown away by the clarity of the actor’s votes, through their…

    Kabuki Theatre: Japan's National Treasure

    Kabuki Theater has captured the hearts and minds of the Japanese audience from its beginnings over four centuries ago to the present day. In Kabuki wild spectacles of song and dance transpire, different from anything familiar to the Western observer. Its color, drama, and richness of costumes and characters contrast wildly with the simplicity and functionality of which the Japanese people live their lives. Kabuki Theater seen today has been shaped by historical tensions about women, religious influences in Japanese society, and is considered to be the people’s theater filled with unique styles and ideas. In order to understand this wild spectacle and its unique techniques of staging and characters, one must look behind the make-up and understand the drama’s widespread roots deeply intertwined in Japan’s popular culture.…

    The first scene caught me off-guard, feeling and sensing the real people behind the hypnotic yet grotesque animation. At first it might distract or feel weird seeing shakiness all over and big eyes seemingly pulsating in and outside the lines of their faces, but after the initial unsettling cartoonish vibe, everything just becomes more surreal. It's art, and it's beautiful.…

    The Nutcracker Analysis

    All of the costumes used throughout the ballet were extremely detailed, and appropriate for the scenes they were used in. The costume that was my favorite throughout the piece was The Nutcracker, they didn’t miss a detail from head to toe with this costume. The set of the ballet is amazing, it looks as though they took snap shots of their thoughts, and brought them to life in the ballet. They couldn’t have been made any better to fit the scenes they were part of. The color’s chosen throughout were all very specific to each scene, they added to the set and the theatrical entertainment. The lighting was focused on the main characters in each scene, the movement of the light helped lead the viewers eye throughout the ballet.…
