Summary: On July 13, 2013, Stage Directors and Choreographer Foundation hosted a One-on-One Conversation with acclaimed Director, Choreographer, and Movement Director Steven Hoggett (Blackwatch, Peter and the Starcatcher, Once), discussing his artistic vision, career trajectory, and rehearsal processes. Moderated by Ryan Donovan, the conversation explores Steven's journey from his beginnings as a self-sustaining artist in Wales with Frantic Assembly to his big-budget ventures on Broadway and around the world. Listen to him discuss his choreographic process of fusing his concept with his actors' natural instincts to create choreography in a highly organic manner. This focused discussion will enlighten the listener on staging musical transitions, influences - both budgetary and spatial - on artistic freedom, the unique aspects of the American theatre industry, and the necessity of deep collaboration when creating theater and its educational benefits. This is an insightful conversation with an artist who thrives on exploration and collaboration.Originally recorded - July 13, 2013. Running Time - 1:19:02 © 2013 SDCF
