Coral Messam, a choreographer known for her work on stage and screen, shares the harrowing impact of a stroke she suffered in 2023. Despite her physical challenges, including protecting her left arm and emotional volatility, she remains committed to her art. Having just wrapped significant projects like Steve McQueen's film Blitz and preparing for Stranger Things: The First Shadow, Messam reflects on her journey of resilience and creativity, emphasizing her inherent need to express herself through movement. Her passion for dance and collaboration continues to drive her, even amidst personal struggles.
"I create work from the heart, says Messam. It's my superpower. I seem to bring out the magic in a cast. I'm all about you being yourself."
"From the time I was conceived, I was meant to move. This is far, far from who I was. It is soul destroying to the maximum."
