I'm intrigued, I'm entertained, but most of all, I'm inspired.
These musical numbers are unlike anything I've ever seen. They almost don't seem real, like optical illusions or something you would see in a dream. I am completely amazed that someone could possibly come up with these concepts and ideas.
This Saturday night, I experienced first hand how hard choreographing a dance number really is. I am the choreographer for a 3rd through 6th grade production of The Wizard of Oz, and this weekend I was choreographing the Munchkin Land Song. As I was standing in the middle of my living room, completely at a lost of how to even begin, I was thinking, how does Busby Berkley do it? It’s amazing; all Busby Berkeley had to do was simply sit in the bathtub with a glass of champagne and would instantly be creating these masterpieces, where as I was helplessly sitting in my living room completely racking my brain and coming up with absolutely nothing. And when I finally did come up with something, it was definitely nothing special. I now have a greater appreciation for Busby Berkley. He was truly a genious, and he is officially my inspiration.
Wow, congratulations for taking on a hard task! I couldn't even imagine choreographing anything yet...
ReplyDeleteYes, it is amazing how berkley coordinated all of that dancing, but he also did it in such a way that they formed all of those shapes
