| Description |
This thesis explores the potential and the origin of dance and theatre as performing arts. I examine the relationship of the audience to performers, discuss the possibility for ritual and the sacred, and develop ideas for meaningful and effective collaboration of theatre and dance. It is through the lens of my own choreographic work and process of creating Another Night that I explore ideas, methods and theories from theatre and dance practitioners who have paved the way in their investigation and integration of these two ultimately interdependent art forms. Through my research I have come to understand that when the four areas of audience, the sacred, dance and theatre are integrated, artists create more possibilities to communicate with their audiences. |
