³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

Many of us like to copy the dance moves we see on screen, but award-winning choreographer, JaQuel Knight in the United States, is on a mission to copyright the sequences that he has devised, and encourage others to do the same. You may have watched and tried to imitate his work. He created the steps for Beyoncé's performance of Single Ladies.

For the award-winning poet and dancer Tishani Doshi, sometimes words aren’t enough to convey the power of the female body, or the anger she feels when it’s violated. It’s then that her poetry ‘demands choreography.’ She tells Nawal how she fuses verse and movement to embody the message of her writing.

How do you go viral in the time of coronavirus? Quang Dang is a Vietnamese dancer and choreographer, who went viral a year ago with a video that made a public health campaign about hand-washing look like fun. Now he’s made a new video, exclusively for the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ #WSDanceChallenge, imagining the freedom he hopes we’ll all enjoy when we step into the post-Covid world.

And French choreographer Marion Motin shares what inspires her steps - hip hop, life on the street and the French film, La Haine.

Presenter: Nawal Al-Maghafi
