| Agree!!! Completely!! The art of choreography has disappeared. No longer is it connected to character or plot or even to underline an emotion. Choreographers like Jerome Robbins, Agnes deMille and others from our musical theatre past KNEW what choreography could do to enhance a show. Now choreography like we are seeing in HAMILITON or SWEENEY or other recent shows seem to just be "movement for movement's sake". Yes, sometimes dance - for "fun"" is not only needed by necessary -- but meaningless movement or extraneous movement for the sake of movement is not making the best use of the art form. What a shame that the art form has disintergrated so completely... Just my 2 cents... |
