That is totally different to doing choreogaphy. I'm not a gifted dancer, but I move well. Bernadette couldn't really dance either. I move well and I pose well, but that's it. I'm not a triple-threat, and I fundamentally believe that concept is stupid. To quote an iconic example: In 1932, an RKO Radio Pictures talent scout penned this opinion about Astaire's first screen test: “Can't act; slightly bald; can dance a little.” Hmmm…the studio executive probably regretted the comment his entire career. There is no such thing as triple threats, though people like Donna McKechnie are close. - This is precisely why I fucking hate stage people... the bullshit in that medium is so motherfucking annoying. Film is literally a science, and plays are all mystic bullshit. It's all myths and legends... cameras capture something closer to real, but obviously that requires knowledge of 2D planes and the illusion of depth.
