Projects for the Living

Abstract

This paper is a means of documenting my MFA dance thesis project, Projects for the Living, including insights into the inception, research phase, choreographic process, design, collaborations, and final performances. Additionally, this document provides a look into the lasting questions this project has brought up for me, as well as thoughts on its place within the context of my full three years as a graduate student of dance at the University of Maryland, and how it has affected me overall as a student, educator, artist, and simply as a human being.
