The shift and development of my choreographic process can be traced by drawing comparisons between the creation of my previous work, which was derived from a perceived narrative, to a more systematic choreographic process, such as the one that was used for the creation of my ThesisWorks dance piece, “Dunamis Novem”. I will explore the methodologies used to create “Dunamis Novem” as a reflection of how my personal aesthetic has developed.
