TAT choreographed Ladies in Lavender. Lori Nichol did Clair de Lune. Ladies in Lavender was music from a soundtrack; I think music selection from another soundtrack is a good idea.
I too think Lori will give Mao a wonderful program. Sometimes young artists are still learning to put themselves into the programs, but just being themselves is a start. Mao has given us many beautiful programs by just being herself. Ever since COP, I haven't seen too many skaters putting themselves into the programs. Take this past olys ladies, I guess the only one on the podium who put herself into it was Rochette. Nagasu was being herself.
I do have some expectations from coaches and choreographers to spend time and put their heart and souls into the process to help skaters develop into "artists". (Much like Lori and Frank did for MK). Of course nowadays Lori is probably the #1 sought choreographers, does she have the time?
