Snowlover by Unprocessed

Marie Zechiel collaborated with director Leo Feimer to craft a powerful visual narrative for Snowlover, the latest release by internationally renowned band Unprocessed. As Movement Director, Zechiel developed a choreography that delves into the complexities of power, control, and inner dependency. Her approach centers on the idea of shifting dynamics — how authority can be held, lost, and reclaimed in the space between two bodies. Working closely with two dancers, Zechiel devised a series of intricate partnering sequences that embody this emotional tension. Each movement was designed to reflect the evolving balance of dominance and vulnerability, exploring how connection can simultaneously empower and entrap. Through physical storytelling, the choreography channels the psychological layers of the song, adding depth and intensity to the video’s visual language.The result is a performance that feels both intimate and unsettling — a visceral reflection of Snowlovers themes. Zechiels contribution goes beyond movement alone; it shapes the rhythm and emotional arc of the entire piece. In collaboration with Feimer’s directorial vision, her choreography becomes the thread that ties narrative, music, and visual together. This project once again highlights her unique ability to use movement as a narrative force, bridging sound and story through embodied emotion.

As a movement director Marie Zechiel researches, develops and instructs sophisticated movement and body languages for a project aiming to create a suitable and unique physical narrative that raises production quality and authenticity.
In exchange with the director and team she proposes a motion vocabulary and choreography which fits best to the project’s vision, before she develops specific training methods and teaches all necessary skills to the performers (e.g. actors, singers, dancers, models, extras).
Especially on set with the production Marie Zechiel is a valuable motion supervisor to translate last-minute improvements as a movement director. Her skill-set includes underwater movement, cross-gendered movements and chorus work as well as doing choreographies in different dance styles.
Her field of work is specialised in camera productions such as commercials, music videos, photo shootings but also fashion shows and gallery spaces and the movement mentoring for artists. As a Choreographer and Movement Director Marie Zechiel has been involved in many music videos, commercial shoots and fashion shows. Clients include: VOGUECalvin Klein, Longines, Heidi Klum, Rammstein, Herbert Grönemeyer, Mercedes Benz.
