Here we go, here we go, you ready?
00:04
Movement is an expression of your feelings, and so everybody's language is different.
00:09
And so we want to speak as many languages as we can, so that everybody in that theater
00:12
can feel like they're being spoken to.
00:16
We saw thousands of people, and they're all shapes, all sizes, all ages.
00:22
If you feel different, it's like you come to this audition, this is for you.
00:26
We want you.
00:27
We need you here.
00:29
Dear Galinda, you are just too good.
00:32
How do you stand it?
00:33
I don't think I could.
00:35
Finding Galinda's physicality was very important to me.
00:39
We had many conversations about switching out little moments here and there, so that
00:43
it leaned into the comedy.
00:46
The best parts of choreographing for Ariana is when she's playing around, and you find
00:50
out what she can really do.
00:51
There was a moment in rehearsal, she kicks her leg, and it's like, wham, it's like all
00:54
the way up to her head, and you're like, Ariana, that's amazing.
00:58
Let's do that.
01:04
Pull, pull, pull, and that's in your own style.
01:08
You really got to explore the range of movement, what feels right, what doesn't feel right.
01:14
It's Oz, so you're trying to create a language that isn't of this world.
01:18
There's an opportunity here.
01:20
Let's play with something.
01:22
You have inspirations from, like, krump and flexing.
01:26
There are b-boy dancers, there are parkour artists, there are people who do a lot of
01:30
hip-hop.
01:31
Beautiful shapes and elements of storytelling.
01:33
I think there's a lot of stuff like shooting three legs, almost, to see the people that
01:36
I think will look cool.
01:39
It comes out of nowhere, it's fast.
01:41
It's a quick combo, it's like two eight count.
01:44
I never wanted anything to feel like there's any kind of limitations on movement.
01:48
The way I choreographed this film isn't the traditional way, but I just love how it came
01:52
together.
01:53
It felt very personal to everybody.
01:56
Every time like that, that's so much better.
