I spoke to the Jpru today. He told me not to cast myself as the lead in my movie. His reasoning was that I can't watch myself or something and some other things. Like, apparently, it's a choreographer's responsibility to "teach" people. It's also horrifically egotistical.
So it's made me really really really think about it. This was my argument. I have choreographed at this college for three years. I have a distinct style. I do my style the best, so I've seen, and I've seen a lot in these years. It's one less actor I have to worry about and teach the choreography to. I am filming this in video, so I can just rewind and watch. This is the most important reason:
I HAVE FUCKING BEEN CHOREOGRAPHING PEOPLE AT THIS COLLEGE FOR THREE YEARS ALL OF WHOM ARE NOT AS GOOD AT DANCING AS I AM AND I THINK THAT FOR ALL I'VE DONE WITH TEACHING OTHER PEOPLE, IT'S MY RIGHT TO FINALLY BE COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY SELF-SERVING FOR MY PROJECT.
I think that's reasonable. Seriously, I do. That's not to say I haven't worked with some very good dancers and movers. It's just, jesus christ, can't I just fucking be self-serving for once? For once?
De and I went to the diner tonight. It was fun. I like to eat food and talk shit.
