| abstract | - The earliest choreographer on Doctor Who was Roslyn De Winter. who designed the movement of the insects in The Web Planet. Another early choreographer who helped design distinctive character movement was Tutte Lemkow on The Celestial Toymaker. Most choreographers of the classic series, however, were used in serials that featured elaborate dance routines, as in Black Orchid and Four to Doomsday, Beginning with Rose, the production team hired a resident choreographer. Alisa Berk has worked on most episodes of the BBC Wales production, coordinating the movement of aliens as different as Autons, Cybermen, Clockwork Droids and Scarecrows. She has been vital in establishing dynamic running styles for human characters, as in The Waters of Mars. Only rarely has she been called upon to teach actors to dance, most notably for Human Nature. A related occupation is that of a fight arranger, who specifically designs the precise movements actors use in an on-screen fight.
