Abstract:
This thesis talks about the interpersonal relationships. These are the relationships we form
throughout life – parent/child, lovers, friends, acquaintances, relationships formed for good or ill, with
whatever outcome life decides. We crave these connections, however solitary we are as people; we still need
the connections that we form in life. These dance pieces dealt with a sampling of those relationships to
explore how they affect our lives. By using movement to explore these relationships both the viewer and the
dancer gets a much more visceral reaction to the relationship, as opposed to simply talking about the effect
these relationships have on our lives.
