| dc.description.abstract | This paper details, through Phenomenological Inquiry, the experimental marriage between the body's internal movements to technology and digital choreography. The choreography drew from the movement of human Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) in order to link the inner body to its outward expression known as dancing. In researching the dance field, I did not find successful explorations of choreography and DNA. Choreographers replicated the microscopic views of DNA. Geneticists use movement language to describe the moving parts within the cell body, but never mention an organic origin for movement. This paper details the various movement processes exploring DNA's motion through and with the human body. The choreography culminates into a series of dancing transfigured human forms technologically created, mastered, and performed. Motion tracking and digital art projections enhanced the choreography and the human body. All my scientific and somatic movement findings resulted in the MFA Dance Thesis concert, Going Viral. | en_US |
