Unlike a lot of choreographers, I don't always start with the music. I often start with a visual artist, and then find music that fits the world of that visual artist.

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.
My mother was a choreographer, so music has always been around.
A choreographer deals with the movement that you create, and with a creative director it's about the story, the stage, the lighting, the costuming, executing someone's idea, choosing how far to go or how little to go, and blending it so that you feel it, you're emotionally effected.
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.
When you're a choreographer and you put so much into a routine that's emotionally driven, those are like my ideas and my little babies that I have here and then I put them out there and they're there to be judged and looked at. When it's all over, it's just such a relief.
My own physicality, not an abstract idea, makes me a choreographer.
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've just been learning how to direct my own videos, choreography, doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.
Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.
Directing is very close to choreography; you deal with space, time, emotions, lighting, making beautiful images.
