For the first time, the choreographer of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bjoerk and many others reveals stage stories through his extraordinary journey. Vincent Paterson began his professional dancing career late in life. It would take an exceptional turn when he became one of the lead dancers in Michael Jackson' s Beat It music video. Through hard work, he rises to the rank of choreographer and director for the world' s greatest singers, but also for cinema and musical comedy. He tells with humility the fascinating universe of film sets, the rehearsal sessions where he had to orchestrate and synchronise dozens of dancers, life backstage where it is sometimes necessary to manage a few whims of the stars, his successes and his disappointments. It is a dive into the heart of the world of dance.
Vincent Paterson is a world-renowned director and choreographer in film, theatre, Broadway, concert tours, opera, television, music videos and commercials. His iconic works include Michael Jackson' s Smooth Criminal and the famous "lean" as well as Madonna' s Blond Ambition Tour. He directed the opera Manon with Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon, Cirque de Soleil' s VIVA! ELVIS and Berlin' s first original production of CABARET-the longest running play in Berlin' s history. Film choreographies include The Birdcage, Dancer in the Dark, Evita and Hook. He resides in California with his husband, Rene Lamontagne.
