Street World Fighter throws choreographers into a 400-dancer casting war
Mnet and tvN’s Street World Fighter: Director’s War previews choreographers racing to recruit 400 dancers for director credit.
A Casting War Among Choreographers to Preempt 400 Dancers
Mnet and tvN's co-produced 'Street World Fighter: Director's War' has officially begun its intense casting war. The program is structured so that choreographers directly recruit the dancers they desire and compete to ultimately claim the 'Director Credit,' the ultimate ownership of the work.
The released teaser video captures the high-tension casting scenes of choreographers attempting to secure 400 dancers. Choreographers are seen establishing strategies to preemptively recruit dancers who can realize the works they have envisioned, foreshadowing the psychological warfare that will unfold during this process.
Choreographers Shined Upon as 'Directors,' the Architects of the Work
This program highlights choreographers not merely as assistants, but as 'directors' who design and lead the work. Based on meticulous strategies, choreographers search for dancers and must ultimately prove their work through physical movement.
The competition to ultimately seize the director credit leads directly to the quality of the work. The process, spanning from dancer recruitment to the realization of the piece, imposes a weight on choreographers that goes beyond a simple dance battle.
'Street World Fighter: Director's War' airs simultaneously every Tuesday at 10 p.m. on Mnet and tvN, and is also available for viewing through TVING.
