| Description |
This thesis examines how logic can be formed using simulated randomness in the choreographic process and how movements begin to construct meaning when placed in relationship to one another. I ask, what are some of the tools that a choreographer can use within the creative process while concurrently incorporating the freedom to allow structure and meaning-making to emerge? This structure includes the conscious act of letting go of predetermined meaning-making while simultaneously encouraging the unexpected to occur. This thesis explores the theoretical and creative approaches used in my choreographic process for the piece titled "The Wallflowers." Even when the outcomes of things that we see occurring around us appear complex, it is possible that the laws that govern them are quite simple. Simplicity is what leads to complexity, and the simplicity of patterns and relationships are what create meaning. Therefore, this research attempts to use randomness to facilitate unintended patterns and relationships that can bring about new methods and approaches in choreography. |
