Directing and Choreographing Assignment (video)

Humanities

In this module, you are looking at one file on the job of the director and eight short videos on directing and choreography. For this assignment, I would like you to give a short response to each video based on the following prompt:

What stands out to you in this video? What do the director(s) or choreographer(s) have to say about their jobs and how they go about doing them? (Please give the director or choreographer’s name and a quote from the video). What did you find either surprising or exciting?

You will have 8 short responses. You do not need to write in any kind of formal formatting or in an essay format, just name the video and the artists and follow that with your response.
