Giselle - Costume, set/props, movement and relationship with music.

In Giselle Loys entre's wearing a cape which shows his royalty because they are expensive. Giselle wears a whity floaty dress which is long because of the time period. The rich people have lots of feathers and pearls because they are rick. The willys are all in white which implies pureness and has ghost like sense and the queen wears a crown which shows she is in control.

Set and props - Village house, fire, trees, dark and woods - where Giselle's grave is. The lighting is dark (gas lighting)

Relationship with music - Musicians play the music with instruments, as the music gets faster the movements also get faster. When Giselle's mums thoughts were low the music got lower. The music matches the mood of the scene, if the music is fast and high then the movement is fast and high. When there is a change of music then there is a change of steps. The music is repeated from when Giselle was in love and then when she fins out who Loys really is.

Movement - Unison - dance perfectly in time with each other, The story relies on a lot of mime. Giselle is happy which is shown in her movement (skipping, happy and playful) Giselle and Loys dance together which shows their togeter and in love. They also do things in mirror image. Repitition and couro is used alot. The audience can idenfiy that the queen is in control as she does different steps to everyone else.
