WHO?
Lukas McFarlane. I am a creative / choreographer from Canada who calls the UK home. I started off working as a dancer in this industry so I know the ins and outs of it from the bottom up. From a very young age, I was assisting choreographically on complex productions such as ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and danced for some of the biggest names in the industry such as P!nk, Taylor Swift and Celine Dion. From this I moved onto creative directing and choreographing for well-known global brands such as UNIQLO, LYNK&CO and GAP on both live events and worldwide campaigns. I have also worked with artists all over the world such as James Arthur, Vance Joy, & Sting on movement direction, choreography, and creative direction. I am over qualified in the television world working creatively on the biggest shows in the UK like The X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing and The Voice UK. I am also well versed in creating live shows for audiences of more than 60.000 at events like British Summer Time Hyde Park and Eurovision Song Contest.

CASE STUDIES
A truly iconic evening to be a part of. I worked as supervising choreographer as well as choreographed many of the performances my self for this historic evening. With an amazing cast of dancers and an all star line up of performers this concert was definitely a bucket list moment for me and one I won't soon forget. I mean, we projected onto Buckingham Palace!
Choreographing the entire show when the UK got the honour of hosting Eurovision was a dream come true. The trust that was given to me by the dream cast of dancers, my creative director Dan Shipton and the camera directors was something i hadn't experienced. Every performance we created was special but this performance for Rita Ora went on to get me a nomination at the World Choreography Awards.
A full on 2 and half months of non stop madness. One of the craziest jobs to wrap my head around with all the tech involved but extremely proud of the product. I was suprivising choreogrpaher to a team of 6 choreogrpahers and 3 assistants, assistant cretaive driector, music editor, and choreographing pieces my self...you have to watch it your self to believe it!
To work with artists of this calibre is always a great challenge for me. To shoot two music videos and a live performance with multiple versions of the choreography is a whole other challenge completely! We were so happy with how this turned out and it was amazing to be brought on this as assistant creative as well as choreographer. Also, the track is a banger!
There is nothing quiet like working on The X Factor or as we call is “Change Factor”. I have never had to be so on my feet and quick to respond then working on this job. Stressful doesn’t even begin to describe the environment but I am beyond happy with how it turned out. Choreographing for Wembley is pretty spectacular and when Brian Friedman says he is happy, you know you can walk away proud!
This was truly a special moment for me. Strictly Come Dancing is an iconic show in the UK and so be asked after 16 seasons to introduce contemporary as a new style into the show format was humbling and extremely rewarding. This was one of 2 routines I did the creative and choreography for that season. It is one of my favourite performances I have come up with to date. Working with Ashley and Pasha was a dream come true.
For this project I had extreme time restraints and worked with several different styles of movement choreographically. It was inspiring to bring out the best in the freestylers especially and shape their solos based off of how they were moving naturally. Working with a brand of this magnitude was a great experience.. It was aired both on TV and online and used as in store advertising.
Julia Garner is a once in a generation talent. I was associate choreogrpaher on this firlm for Ashley Wallen but ran the 3 month shoot my self as he worked on another project in Australia. Very proud of Julia and how the film tuned out.
I enjoyed this project immensely as it was a contemporary duet which I have done several times before. The process was seamless and and the video was extremely well received by all the artist’s fans around the world.
I am very passionate about this artist, so it was an honour to not only choreograph but also to write the creative treatment and co-direct the film with him for this project. We filmed in the rainforest on The Great Ocean Road in Melbourne, Australia - a perfect location for my vision.
WHY?
Most importantly, I am a team player. I work hard and get the job done. Everything is an inspiration to me, so when it comes to following a brief, I start creating the vision right from the start. I’m different, there I said it. I like to think outside of the box because every piece of art deserves to be unique. I promise to give you exactly what you want…and then more! I am quick on my feet and am extremely efficient in last minute situations. I thrive on working under pressure and am definitely not deterred when it comes to a challenge. This is my passion, creating and choreographing is what I live and breathe, and not just at work. So not only will you get the best product you could hope for from me, but you will also enjoy the hell out of the process!
