Beyonce "Countdown" vs Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
Uploaded by fundifferent1 on Oct 9, 2011
This video highlights work used in Beyonce's "Countdown" video. Watch the original video and see if you can spot the "inspiration." (I highly recommend watching them side by side in Windows).
HISTORY: Beyonce's "Countdown" video was "inspired" by several other works of art, including dance moves by Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. Call it an homage, inspiration, reference, plagiarism or whatever, the fact still remains that many young people in the States have never heard of De Keersmaeker or of the choreography used in the video and no credit to the originals is ever given in the video. Hopefully, this video will show off the originals and pay some respect to both Beyonce and the original dancers, choreography, filmmakers, etc. Enjoy!
