Choreography with Dance Arrangement | Lainie Sakakura | American Theatre Wing’s Master Class Series

The process of choreographing a musical in the rehearsal room can be a vulnerable and special creation. It’s truly a gift to have a Dance Arranger by your side to help guide the creative process, and nowadays pretty rare.

In this Master Class, award winning choreographer, Lainie Sakakura takes you through the originative journey of choreographing scenes in real time with Tony Award© nominated orchestrator and composer, Sam Davis.

Music and Lyrics by Paul Fujimoto from CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET, new musical adaptation of the bestseller Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.

Dancers: Sean Gin, Isa Noriko Sanchez, and Rei Akazawa-Smith
