Task 6A

I have contacted a friend, and colleague, who has worked as both a dancer and choreographer. She is currently living in Germany so I though this would be a perfect situation to experiment with interview via email.

I have researched about the best way to approach an email interview and the consensus seems to be keep the questions to a minimum so to the interviewee doesn’t get too overwhelmed. I decided to just ask 5 questions all of which are fairly broad, giving the interviewee the chance to expand on their answer and tell me in their own words their experience.

The questions I posed are:

Where did/do you find choreographing work?

How did you gain the relevant experience in choreography?

Do you still perform? Which do you prefer/why?

Can you tell me how you made the transition from performer to choreographer?

What initially made you think about becoming a choreographer?

What do you think? Too broad? Not hitting the right topics?

Feedback would be great!
