Dance/Video Mashup
as a Choreographic Process
An MFA Movement Thesis by Molly A.E. Johnston
"16 Tickets"
Week One
Feedback Prompt:
Like The Survey, we started by listening to McGregor's dreams and searching for videos online that helped us connect to a
character. Instead of borrowing gestures and spatial patterns from videos found online, I am creating movement from descriptive words and phrases in informational videos and documentaries about schizophrenia found on YouTube.
I am interested in exploring a dreamscape that gives the viewer the feeling that they are watching a nightmare unfold. Not necessarily that they are having a nightmare, but that they are a bystander in someone else's nightmare. "In your own words, how would you describe a nightmare and the way you feel while having one? How would you describe the movement created so far?"
