This piece appears in the columns section of frieze 246, ‘Dance’When I work on a film, I always ask myself: what is dance going to bring to it? There was absolutely no indication about dance or choreography when I first read the script for Emilia Pérez (2024); however, all the music and dialogue was already written. I thought it would be challenging to bring dance into such a structured story.
