SNOW WHITE, AN ETERNAL ROMANCE AT DISNEYLAND PARK : Interview with director Katy Harris

Can you introduce Snow White, an eternal romance ?
Snow White, an eternal romance is what we call a "little show" (Happening), which takes place on stage at the Castle, where we played Winnie the Pooh and his friends a few years ago, and The Magic Book Mickey the opening of the park. The idea is to honor our princess to celebrate the release of the Collector's Edition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Blu-ray. Insofar as our show lasts about 8 minutes, it's not the whole story of the film. Instead, I selected the most highlights the major themes of the film and put them on stage in a spirit of celebration. Thus we find the greatest music of the film in such paintings as Heigh-Ho , One Day My Prince Will Come or Whistle while you work. It's really a show with music, dance and singing.

Where does the music you use?
In fact, we performed a new soundtrack using the arrangements that have been produced for many years in the park.

How did you approach the choreography of the Seven Dwarfs?
I was inspired directly film including the sequence of the Tyrolean Dwarf which we reproduce on stage using instruments identical to those of the film, bass, harp, flute and accordion. I also played on the picks and wheelbarrows. This "dance of wheelbarrows" is a novelty for me because I had never worked with this accessory before and it was very interesting to put up with the Captains who will manage the show. All this makes the choreography very diverse and fun, precisely because the Dwarves are playing a lot with accessories. For its part, also dances with Dopey Snow White whom he is secretly love ... Then everything ends on a high-waltz because it is mostly a story of love between Snow White and her Prince Charming, when the Dwarves are involved in their own way!

The reference model for Snow White at the time of its creation was Marge Champion, dancer herself, who sent the princess all her grace. As a director, choreographer and dancer as yourself, how did you approach the gestures?
For me, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of the easiest films to stage because, As a dancer, the movements of Snow White are very identifiable. We recognize the steps, style and body language specific to ballet. From there, I viewed the film that I spent the loop sequences key to decrypt the body language that I incorporate into my choreography and then my staging.


It is a pleasure to revisit the scene of the Castle run again!
By the very nature of this show, we do not need to make costume changes or scene changes. Therefore, this scene was perfect. And above all, I love her opening. We have lots of space, access is easy. It's a great scene to work!


The show ends with a meeting with the characters.
It indeed linked together with a "meet'n greet" so that our visitors can meet Snow White, Prince and the Seven Dwarfs. It will be a unique opportunity to approach the family of Snow White in full force!
