elementarystan:Dance Magazine: The Tony-Nominated Play Ink Has a Secret Weapon: Choreographer Lynne PageIn Ink’s longest musical sequence, Miller’s kinetic Larry prowls the pubs of Fleet Street gathering a staff—which turns into a chorus line—for The Sun, the newspaper they will transform into a circulation behemoth with screaming headlines, giveaways and naked women.As the cast changed for the Broadway production, so did the details in the choreography. “The structure is the same, and it’s the same palette. But what fits one actor in London is not going to fit the actor in New York.”Miller, one of the New York newbies, “is inherently a fabulous dancer,” says Page. “Very Gene Kelly-ish.” But she couldn’t very well have a newspaper editor “suddenly break into a tap dance.” When she’d catch Miller fooling around onstage—which, she jokes, “you should never do in front of a choreographer"—she managed to incorporate his “little physical flourishes” into the character’s movement. -- source link
