Choreographer

 

Choreographically, South Pacific  is separated between the sailors and the nurses.  I wanted to see the men move like sailors: athletic, boyish, and uninhibited.  Never affected or overly polished.  The women act mostly as a chorus for Nellie, echoing her dramatic arc.  In addition, I loosely riffed on the dance training these women realistically might have had--a sort of casual ballet--to ground their specific movement style.
