This paper outlines the emotional, creative and intellectual content and context for the process, presentation and reflection of my MFA in Dance thesis concert, Sharing a Dance with You. My focus lies in investigations of the whys: my choices, interests and transformations. In this paper, I will lay out how my early life experiences have lasting effects on my current interests, patterns and preferences, shed light onto my process and the interwoven nature of the work, and offer others the opportunity to make discoveries of their own.
