Abstract
Paradox is a 15 minute contemporary dance choreographic live performance that explores mutually opposed and inconsistent forces that are logically unacceptable and self-contradictory. Paradox featured seven dancers, designed lighting, specially edited pre-recorded music, one soloist and one demi-soloist. Paradox is the exploration of how the inside of the brain functions while suffering from bipolar disorder type 2. Six dancers move and function as the inside of the brain, signifying the neurons, synapses, as well as electrical and chemical signals under invasion of bipolar disorder type 2. One dancer represents the person with this dysfunctional brain and one dancer signifies the entity of bipolar disorder type 2. From the start to finish of Paradox, the viewers witness an interpretation of one manic depressive episode. The choreography was presented as part of the Merge dance concert on April 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th 2023, at the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre, at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
