Key Facts: ‘Still Life’ at the Penguin Café. Choreographer David Bintley Composer Simon Jeffes Lighting Design John B Read Set Design Hayden Griffin Premier date March 1988 Company Royal Ballet Costume Design Dance styles Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Hoe down, African, Morris dance and ballroom Accompaniment 1 Orchestral 2 Natural sounds: body percussion (rat), Squeak (flea), hitting sticks (Morris men), gunshot (zebra), tree falling (rainforest), wind, rain and thunderclaps (storm) 3 Each section of music links to the geographical location of the character or dance style selected. 4 Unaccompanied interludes (silence) are used in between each section 5 Vocal text is used at the beginning and end (read by Jeremy Irons) 6 The choreography mirrors the infectious rhythms of the music. Design 1 Staging: Proscenium 2 Painted backdrop/cyclorama is used. Each backdrop links to the geographical location of the animal/character and also can link to the size and climate. 3 A café with tables and chairs is located at the sides of the stage (promotes the idea of a show within a show and how we use animals as a form of entertainment) 4 Lighting: Lights dim and rise to indicate the beginning and ending of each section. White spotlights are placed on the main characters/ dancers. Symbolic blue lighting is used in the storm to represent the rising water. Lighting effects are used to show lightening, Colours reflect the climate/habitat. 5 Props: Trays and glasses, switches and sticks. 6 Costume: Anthropomorphic (Hybrid of human and animal characteristics). The costumes are designed to pick up particular characteristics of each creature or a cultural location. Head-dresses and masks are a feature in each section 7 Projections: Tree falling down (Rainforest) and Rain (storm). Themes and Stimuli 1 Doomsday book of animals 2 The music of the Penguin Café Orchestra 3 The paintings by Emily Young (Album sleeve) 4 Endangered animals/ Extinction of animals 5 Mans destruction of the environment 6 Images of Noah’s Ark 7 Animals used as a form of entertainment (Café at the sides)
