Choreography, and movement direction and movement coaching… OH MY!!! Today, I am breaking down the differences between the three… To me! This subject is very near and dear to my heart because movement coaching lights me up in a way that nothing else does. For me, it is the center circle of the Venn diagram of Teaching, Training, Dancing, Acting, and Translating. I could talk about this all day, but instead… I cut it down to 37 minutes. ENJOY!
