It's weird when you see pieces of choreography that were done for you 15 or 20 years ago and now they are being done by another dance company.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You get used to working with one choreographer. You kind of get stuck in that vein and you work your way out of it, picking up someone else's style, their flavor. It takes a bit of time.
I kind of lost interest in the classical dance. I was very much interested in the modern choreography.
Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.
Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.
I think the thing that we agreed to so many years ago, actually, was that the music didn't have to support the dance nor the dance illustrate the music, but they could be two things going on at the same time.
I had always choreographed a little, beginning in high school. And I leaned toward choreography. I always had an overview of what was going on.
Choreography is writing on your feet.
I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.
I watched 'Fame,' and I just love the choreography. It just gives me a place to be in another zone.
Every act I see, their whole act is choreographed. I'm sick of seeing these dancers. The only reason they have them is they don't have enough talent to get people dancing themselves.
