Abstract
The purpose of this arts-based research inquiry was to explore the meaning and embodiment of being on the Midstate Trail, a 95-mile footpath in Massachusetts. The researchers used dance to examine their trail experiences and those of the other research participants. The presentation will integrate dance, video, and narrative to present the findings within the liminal space construct. This project is a collaboration between a qualitative researcher and a professional choreographer/dancer.
