I prefer
choreographing movement on other people because I can work with their strengths
and I feel more positive about what I am creating. I also enjoy working with the
dancer’s ideas and inputs rather than solely my own.
As well as being the director of Chrysalis, Jodie also teaches and choreographs at Tring Park School. A few weeks a go I went to a rehearsal for their graduate show to help and shadow Jodie. I really enjoyed the process. I feel I have, and will learn a lot from him and his way of working as
choreography is something I would love to achieve after my career as a dancer. In the past when I have choreographed and had to ‘be in charge’ I found it really hard to take control. Being authoritative and taking charge is very difficult for me. I always admire how Jodie has a level of authority but doesn’t abuse his power of being the director of a company.
I am interested in enquiring about how different choreographers and directors work with their dancers in the creative process of a piece of dance.
