Marguerite Pomerhn-Derricks (born 1961), professionally known as Marguerite Derricks, is a former ballerina and a multi award-winning choreographer from Buffalo, New York. Derricks studied ballet at the National Ballet School of Canada; she admired Karen Kain. Derricks was behind the choreography of two films similar in their subject matter, Striptease (1996) and Showgirls (1995). Some of her more noted works include the Austin Powers films, 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), Donnie Darko (2001), Little Miss Sunshine (2006), and Spider-Man 3 (2007). After the first Austin Powers film, she became famous and increased her reputation with an advertisement for The Gap, "Go Go." During one interview, she said that with regard to her newfound popularity, "it all started with Mike [Myers]," (the star of Austin Powers) and added that "Go Go has changed my life." In 2006, Derricks choreographed Sister Act the Musical, which had its world premiere at the Pasadena Playhouse. In 2009, she served as the choreographer for director Kevin Tancharoen's remake of the movie Fame, and for Gregory Boyd and Frank Wildhorn's musical "Wonderland" – a twist on the "Alice in Wonderland" children's story. Derricks also choreographed Tom Cruise's dance performance as the movie mogul Les Grossman in the 2008 film Tropic Thunder. (en) |
