dc.description.abstractAbstract Integrating Classical Chinese Dance and Western Contemporary Dance in the Midst of the Pandemic By Rose Xinran Qi, MFA Dance 2021 Thesis Directed by Professor Sara Pearson, School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance StudiesGhost Bride was a 40-minute original dance art presentation that premiered at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland on November 19 and 20, 2020. The production featured dramatic design elements and unique dance movements to convey the mystery, emotion, and supernatural events of the ancient ghost bride story. The theoretical premise and research focused primarily on philosophical and choreographic methods to effectively integrate the character of Classical Chinese female dance movements with Western contemporary movements, as a means to expand the creative boundaries for Western dancers. Other explored research interests included using the arts to drive cathartic healing from loss, and identifying creative opportunities to promote self-determination and personal freedoms for women. Planning, preparations and rehearsals occurred amidst challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. This work was conducted to fulfill requirements for the Master of Fine Arts in Dance at the University of Maryland.en_US
