praxeological procedures to stablish theatricality in dance

Masterarbeit Masterstudium Movement Studies and Performance (Tanzpädagogik) RA 066 747

ABSTRACT The term theatricality is commonly used in dance environments. Sometimes its use implies a pejorative intention that blurs or denies its extension, depth, and usefulness for dance practice. This thesis delves in the strategies to make it evident, explored, experienced, and applied in pedagogical and creative dance processes as a necessary step to understand the complexity of stage dance. The interest of finding and defining theatricality lies in the necessity of systematizing creative and pedagogical procedures that provide the student/artist with the necessary tools to understand the differences between artistic expression and virtuosity. The practical experiments and theoretical research carried out in this thesis point to the production of otherness as an accurate strategy to consciously establish/create/ imprint theatricality in artistic processes. In this thesis, the valuable knowledge that exists in dancers own work is explored through the analysis of theoretical and artistic material produced in the Master Studiest in order to extract from there conclusion, also emphasizing the search for a praxeology of artistic research in dance.
