Hi Liam, love the choreography! Have you thought about filming it in different locations (with various backgrounds) then editing the footage, I-movie is a good programme, I use it with my students when they are creating Pop Videos :)
So, my passion is to create pieces of choreography/art that people can either relate to, or to make them understand my feelings or thoughts of an experience I have been through. I find choreography a good way to let out how I feel. Whether I find a song that I can relate to and create specific movements, that make sense to how I feel. Or it could be that I’m just in a good mood and want to find a song that matches that, and choreograph to it.

Also, by asking people” why?” I will then get given a reason, which should answer the question “How do I label my profession?” This way I can calculate how people label professions. I was also thinking of asking another question along with this being “Would I label my profession different
Thanks for that Liam - its great to see what you do.
