Several new couples joined Gadbois since Worlds and I wonder whether MFD would be in situation to design 20+ perfect & top level SD+FD choreographies or not. I guess it will take even more time to bring up programs and fine tune them for the new couples as she needs to know about their wishes, their tastes, their expectations, their strengths, their weaknesses, etc. In addition, all programs of all couples need to fully comply with all these new rules in force for the next season. To sum up, a lot of constraints and obviously a lot of work.
As for P/C, the first season of this new Olympic cycle should be definitely a great opportunity to work with other choreographers, in collaboration - or not - with MFD.
The new rules- entertainment bonus and character step seq (except the entertainment bonus seems to have been nixed, though one may guess its spirit will somewhat remain) seem a bit anti-Gadbois, and a demand for a bit more from G and G. The revision and development of the skating so many couples with regard to a changed system will be quite a job.
As much as I hope G and G will bring in an outside choreographer, I also hope they will limit MFD's access to the sessions where the programmes are developed. Bringing in someone from outside for a point of difference would be a waste if their competitors' choreographer is allowed access and instruction in their specific choreographic method, such that 8/7 top teams in the world can benefit from it, which will be approximately the number of top couples at Gadbois next season.
There also seems a lot of projection of a certain type of parent-child relationship on that of a coach/choreographer and the skaters in comments that I read. I also have a feeling that too exists within Gadbois. One asks- are P/C the artists and their bodies their own canvas, or is MFD the artist and they her box of paints. Certain interviews I've seen of MFD suggest that she might see them as the latter.
Accordingly, I hope they get a choreographer who has in his or her head an idea of teaching them to choreograph as much as just teaching them choreography. Not a person standing at the sidelines giving them every instruction on what they should do and how they should do it, but one who provides a roadmap and guidelines for them to go on the journey of creating the programme they want., where the moves look the way they want them to move, and tell the story they want to tell.
To be honest, I think inflicting that sort of terrible non-development of the skater as an artist is an impossibility with G and G; and they are already very much in control of what they do. It would however be nice for them to work with someone who has the unselfish agenda of them working towards that being the unmitigated message of who they are as skaters.
