Researcher Information

Abstract

The purpose of the research that I have conducted was to further my own understanding of dance improvisation. I used my own personal journals as well as other noted sources to explain what I discovered through my journey. I expressed my thoughts and feelings of my journey and how they related to the discoveries that I made. My discoveries include the importance of breaking bodily as well as mental habits, find new ground, becoming aware of one’s self, his/her environment, and other people; and defining organized vs. unorganized improvisation. All of these discoveries are discussed in detail and pertain to the outcome of not only a more versatile dancer, but also a more adaptable and confident person.
