ARTISTIC INSPIRATION:
I am a huge fan of the American violinist and dancer, Lindsey Stirling. Following her journey on YouTube since 2012, I saw how she developed her craft though hard work, talent and interest, and got success.
Lindsey creates her own music and edits her videos. The music I find amazing, and the videos beautiful. She also earlier years made most of her own costumes and dances. Lindsey has shown a endless amount of creativity, drive and ability to create and execute her ideas. I love the diversity of her work yet, still having a style.
Though her sucess history, Lindsey is an inspiration for me as an artist to build your creations and path.
CREATION PROCESS:
Autumn 2019 I finally got myself to create a choreography from one of her tunes. I used the whole song, and it took me two months, several times a week to create.
This is the longest I have used on a set choreography to a song to today’s date.
FILMING OUTSIDE:
I had no prior experience moving in snow and did not rehearse it either before filming. I learned the hard way that snow makes you slower, cold, and harder to move. So though visually the snow video is prettier, I am dancing better in the indoor version and that is why that video is under and not the edited outdoor version.
I met this challenge of dancing in the snow again in the video version of Lets get through this April 2020. Then I had experience and was more prepared what to do.
The inside and outside version was then sent to Lindsey (see picture) and then this creation served its purpose. For the future I hope to teach it to a youthgroup and let them perform it.
