Amr Patrick is a famous choreographer and dancer in Egypt; he cooperates with superstars, the most recent of which was the theatrical show "Aladdin" starring Ahmed Ezz, Tara Emad and directed by Magdy El Hawary, which was shown in the Riyadh season in Saudi Arabia a month ago.

Patric reported that the ''Blue Elephant" was considered a starting point from the theatrical performance in 2014.

In it, he played the genie role; "Blue Elephant was an exceptional experience that thrilled the audience and doubled the number of my fans ,This happened before the film was produced cinematically, as well as after the great success of the 1st part, The director Marwan Hamed demanded from me to design choreography part two,” said Patric.

Patric explained that he liked working with Hamed because of the proper system that he follows in his work- there is nothing done at random.

In addition, the choreographer liked the character of the super star Hind Sabri who loves to make jokes during the training on dance steps. However, the star Nelly Karim did not need much training due to her long experience in ballet.

On other hand, the modern technologies that were used in Aladdin show made him compete with Broadway shows strongly, as the audience dazzled while seeing Ahmed Ezz fly on a magical carpet in his entry or embodiment of the technical elements with hologram technology.

This encouraged the production company to bring back the experience in Egypt, after the overwhelming success in Riyadh, despite the cost and the possibility of a high tickets price.

he recently worked with the star Mahmoud Al-Esaili, he designed

the dance of his new video clip "the acting", as well as the last video clip of the superstar Asala, he said about her "She has an innate talent for dancing and memorizing steps like a professional ,but she was afraid of the public's opinion, so she decided to delete the dance."

 

Noteworthy, the choreographer is currently participating in the Akhenaten show ''Dust of Light" by Walid Awni, on the big stage in the Egyptian Opera House. He is preparing for a re-presentation of "Aladdin" in Egypt at the Cairo theater on 6th February.
