Abstract

This thesis seeks to explore the struggle to connect with self and others virtually and physically in light of the ongoing isolation, fatigue, and anxieties resulting from the COVID-19 Pandemic. I plan to examine the concepts of social isolation and identity dissonance in my choreography in three different stages: 1. Quarantine 2. Social Distancing 3. Approaching a "new normal". I will delve into the distortion of self, community, time, and connection that has occurred in the past year using modern and contemporary dance genres informed by non-verbal communication studies. More specifically I will focus on gestures, proximity, touch, and facial expressions and how our presentation of self and perception of others has shifted during each of the three stages. This performance aims to invoke introspection and community dialogue regarding the shared adversities of the pandemic as we transition to a "new normal".
