Choreography

Notes on, 'choreography'.................................................. :


I could never be a choreographer, (I decided). -For me, dance is a visceral/'gut', reaction. It's all about improv (for me)- when it comes to dance. I saw lady gaga perform on ellen today- and i saw what she did with ballet- and I thought 'I couldn't choreograph'. While I appreciate the modernization/experimentation of it, (ballet)- for me, it's a 'reaction' thing. I 'think'- in ballet- always. I could never 'choreograph', but I think i could 'co-choreograph'. I am more in the realm of technique/playing with (what's already been)---- 'choreographed'/established.

I do this in zumba, all the time...................... I experiment/play with her already, established moves. Making them more 'ballet-like'. --And it's not out of 'dissidence' -or playing 'devil's advocate'- or what not. I just................... My tendency- is towards the ballet. It's true....................... once you take a girl out of ballet....................... you can never take the 'ballet'- out of her...................... n it's so true, and still holds true (to me)- today, over 20 yrs. later. bALLET FOH EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!


p.s.
i'm really excited for the movie, 'PiNA'!..............
