The world under the sea never stops moving, and neither does Zak Jacobs’ choreography.

In a new BroadwayWorld Q&A with Sophia Yen-Vera, Zak takes readers inside the movement of Disney’s THE LITTLE MERMAID. He shares how he created two distinct physical worlds, fluid and full of life beneath the sea, elegant and grounded on land, while finding fresh ways to approach beloved numbers like “Under the Sea” and “Kiss the Girl.”

He also discusses the energy of working with the live JAM Orchestra and the collaborative process that allows each performer’s individuality to shine through the movement.
