Abstract

Through the writing of this thesis I define and explain ‘s (apostrophe s) as a contemplative dance engaging in a multi-disciplinary approach. In order to better understand what defines dance and art as contemplative, I will use comparative literature regarding the work of other dance artists whose work can or has been described as such. I will also utilize the research and knowledge of scholars and practitioners of contemplative practice to refine and demonstrate this definition. Next, I will unpack ‘s (apostrophe s) as a richly layered contemplative movement artwork based in the practice of embodied navigation integrating with the discipline of visual art. Finally, in utilizing ‘s (apostrophe s) as the research, I will demonstrate how the use of multi-disciplinary creative work can also be understood as inner-disciplinary work and that creative process can be realized as transformative practice.
