Lori Nichol on Mao Asada 2012/13 SP “I Got Rhythm”, EX “Mary Poppins”
“When Mao first came to me (for her new programs), she seemed to have an image of skating to some beautiful, sad music. But I felt like I had to do something for her getting back the joy of her life and skating again. To use cheerful music which uplifts her whenever she hears it everyday at the rink.”
“I wanted to bring out her lightness, her purity, her adorable liveliness on the programs. I had a lot of fun working on the choreography with her, seeing Mao was like the sun shining above us.” |
