Steps of Choreography

  1. Map out Song
  2. Listen to song and determine feel of presentation using visualization
  3. Listen for different layers of music (core beat, drop outs, accents)
  4. Determine goals and goal moves (specific moves you want to incorporate into the performance)
  5. Start to fill in parts of the song where you are inspired to move a certain way.
  6. Build around those parts into cohesive movement sections.
  7. Keep in mind: levels, movement across the stage, using the stage, framing. 
  8. Perform sections of music.
  9. Perform whole song with transitions.
  10. Review and edit choreography to tone down monotony, change feeling and transitions, add ignored moves.

Quote of the Month

“I don’t believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all.  If there’s one thing that’s dangerous for an artist, it’s precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it.”–Federico Fellini
