choreographed
Movement was designed
Choreographed describes movement that has been planned and arranged in advance, originally for dance performances: a beautifully choreographed ballet.
The term extends to any carefully coordinated sequence of actions: a choreographed publicity campaign, The whole event felt choreographed.
The implication is deliberate staging rather than spontaneity—sometimes admiringly, sometimes suggesting artificiality.
