Noted as one of the most sought-after commercial choreographers in the world, Knight has worked on music videos and concert tours for Beyoncé, Ke$ha, Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, Britney Spears and more. As in any music video, dance is an integral component, and the choreographers involved in the film’s production played an important role in bringing African dance to the big screen. Although Beyoncé receives top credit in direction and production, Black Is King is the product of mass African creative collaboration, featuring the work of veteran and emerging Black musicians, writers, fashion designers, and of course, choreographers. It is a visual companion to The Lion King: The Gift, an album inspired by Jon Favreaus’ 2019 The Lion King live action remake film. The film, which debuted July 31 on Disney+, reimagines the story of Simba’s journey in The Lion King while celebrating pan-African identity and culture. If you’re at all up to date with pop culture, Beyoncé’s Black Is King is bound to have made its way onto your news feed.
