Lady Gaga's New Choreographer On 'Abracadabra' Video

Lady Gaga's new choreographer and "Abracadabra" co-director, Parris Goebel, an acclaimed dancer and choreographer, shared the inspiration behind MAYHEM's brand-new viral single and music video.

When asked about being the latest addition to the Haus of Gaga team, Parris responded:

"...when her team reached out and I got to meet her and listen to her album and she welcomed me into her world, I just couldn't believe it. She has inspired me so much, and I think just as a woman, she knows no boundaries, and that, for me, is how I approach my artistry. Now, being a part of her world, it's really the coolest shit I've ever done."

Delving further into the creation of the "Abracadabra" music video, she added:

"This project explores different sides of Gaga and how they coexist in her life. Everything is very theatrical... From the styling to the casting to the set, how we design the club, to the lighting, everything just matters. You're creating a whole world from scratch. Everything was just done so delicately and meticulously and I got to bring on dancers that I've admired for years. I brought in choreographers to dance, which never happens in our world—all ages, all walks of life, and people I've worked with for years."

Parris also discussed the rehearsals and the process behind the making of the video:

"We were prepping, oh my goodness, maybe for about three weeks in total. ... But the shoot was two days long and was really demanding for everyone. You can see they're dancing from top to bottom, and we're doing take after take after take, but you can feel that hard work through the video. ... We should just build our own club. I think it's going to have such a different feel to actually be in this space. If we’re going to have 50, 60 dancers in the room, I think it's going to inspire everyone to really get lost in this world if we actually build the set out and make it feel like we're transporting everyone to a different dimension."

Speaking about the many hidden details in the already viral music video and what fans can expect from the Mayhem era, Parris said:

"I would say bringing pop culture back to life."
