Adria Petty, the video’s director,
“I brought Beyoncé a number of references and we picked some out together. Most were German modern-dance references, believe it or not. But it really evolved,” she told MTV News, calling it “an evolving, spontaneous process.”
The new Beyoncé-clip "Countdown" shows some striking resemblance with movies from Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
The Belgian Choreographer is a bit mad though...
In an interview with Belgian radio station Studio Brussel today she said:
I didn’t know anything about this. I’m not mad, but this is plagiarism. This is stealing. They took pieces from Achterland and Rosas danst Rosas. Including the dresses and a remake of the school of [architect Henry] Van de Velde [which served as the set for the original recording of Rosas danst Rosas by director Thierry De Mey]. It’s a bit rude, I must say.What’s rude about it is that they don’t even bother about hiding it. They seem to think they could do it because it’s a famous work. Am I honoured? Look, I’ve seen local school kids doing this. That’s a lot more beautiful.
