Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Theater Arts.
This treatise sets out to explore the ways in which script analysis and the development of choreography might interact, and what might be the benefits of this interaction. This research holds that without a full appreciation of how choreography functions within a script’s dramatic structure, time can be lost; moreover, potential creative solutions can remain unarticulated. Elements of script analysis are reviewed, as are basic choreographic principles, and methodologies for critically responding to choreography. In addition to considering what might be done in theory, this paper examines the reality of how choreographers read scripts, and how they and their collaborators critically respond to their choreography. To this end, four choreographers were interviewed for this research: Martha Clarke, Dianne McIntyre, Jerry Mitchell, and Lynne Taylor-Corbett. In addition, published accounts of choreographers and their work are cited.
