Fair enough. I haven't seen the production, so can't comment on its effectiveness. I just thought you might not have been aware of the original choreography, as you claimed to have never seen a production.


I'm not defending what I haven't seen, nor refuting your opinion of it, but your comment has prompted me to make this observation: I do sometimes think that it can be a mistake to try TOO HARD to be 'original' or clever and experimental.

There are always going to be new interpretations by everyone involved, and hopefully original ideas will come out of this. But it can be a mistake to make ORIGINALITY your sole purpose. I think the overall purpose should be to make it GOOD.


Cheers,
Craig
