Choreography: the unknown and ignored  + Interview with Loon Sheng, martial art's choreographer.

 

Quote

“Choreography and dance direction are very special arts. You either have the desire and ability to do it, or you do not. These creators combine their knowledge of dance, their personal background and style of movement, and their awareness of the camera and what it can do (in essence, their sheer art). Many people sit down and place words on the blank sheet before them to create a screenplay, but not many can make that blank sheet dance, causing audiences to react with emotion and admiration.” [1]
