La Belle et la Bête

Indochine

Recent choreography for Indochine’s “La Belle et la Bête” music video. It was a joy to step into Santiago Carrasquilla’s vision and watch the project come to life through post-production. I choreographed and performed the contemporary dance sections, which were rendered into animation using motion capture technology. The video also features Morris dance—a traditional English folk style—choreographed by Rhia Davenport.
