Abstract Details

2022, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Ohio University, Dance.
This creative research project explores how embodied knowledge in dance deals with structures of authority, power, relationship, and collectivity as they manifest in practices of group movement improvisation. Through critical reference, expert interviews, and experimental workshops, the research discusses how "togetherness" is facilitated and negotiated through the lens of group improvisation in dance. The research highlights how elements of group improvisation practices can be used as tools for shifting habitual or traditional ways of structuring authority into new, collective ways of "being in togetherness," using the term "generative practices" to develop these concepts.
