When preparing for the fight choreography, the first thing I have to think about is what fits in the script. Whatever goes along with the story line and the character's personality; they have to be matched.
It's funny, because it's like the fight when you watch it, it's probably going to be like five minutes, but it's taken us like a month to shoot it so I think what was really interesting was that instead of going through an entire fight sequence, you're doing one or two moves over and over and over, so I'd say it's less exhausting than actually training, because you're not really constantly going over the choreography, like the whole entire thing with everybody. You're just doing that one part that they need in the shot.
No one has their own identity like the Ronettes did back in the day.
When I finally decided to do the show, I only had two weeks to learn the choreography and the songs in French.
The modern age has been characterized by a Promethean spirit, a restless energy that preys on speed records and shortcuts, unmindful of the past, uncaring of the future, existing only for the moment and the quick fix. The earthly rhythms that characterize a more pastoral way of life have been shunted aside to make room for the fast track of an urbanized existence. Lost in a sea of perpetual technological transition, modern man and woman find themselves increasingly alienated from the ecological choreography of the planet.
I like writing melody without an instrument. It's just so - it's more like the choreography of a bee; you just go.
Choreography is writing on your feet.
I always thought martial arts was the most modern choreography we could have right now, and I always wanted to put it to music.
I wanted to show that 'I'm sexy'. I wanted to do things that other male solo artists hadn't done before, such as choreography that has a tempting allure.
I'm not going to say it's easy, but I do have an ease with picking up fight choreography because of my dance training.
You may be wondering why I went from over there to over here. Well, that was choreography.
Dancing is such a despised and dishonored trade that if you tell a doctor or a laywer you do choreography he'll look at you as if you were a hummingbird. Dancers don't get invited to visit people. It is assumed a boy dancer will run off with the spoons and a girl with the head of the house.
I liked the choreography, but I didn't care for the costumes.
I've always been athletic and a dancer, so I love doing fight choreography.
The round-up is an aggressive tradition. I'm trying to objectively be a steward of the tradition and what it means in its choreography.
Conductors must give unmistakable and suggestive signals to the orchestra, not choreography to the audience.
Choreography is mentally draining, but there's a pleasure in getting into the studio with the dancers and the music.
I'm not retired, I will continue directing films and doing fight choreography. I won't stop.
And Toronto's own Sergio Trujillo has redone his choreography totally, showing all the comical invention that we know he's capable of.
I've done a lot of Samurai film in Japan, and sometimes done the choreography by myself.
