Research areas and aims and objectives for overall outcome of project
Research question: How are physical boundaries defined, altered and enhanced within a performance
Our focus of research will stem from the question to how are our physical boundaries
changed within a performance. We have gathered different areas of research and video evidence of the performers / ourselves reflections on tasks carried out in our sessions. This has therefore allowed us to keep updated throughout our process of research to therefore come to an final conclusion for our choreographic work. The importance of our research question can be found within the understanding that lies in the studies into humanities and social science which explore social rituals and everyday interactions. Because performance brings together a vast diversity in forces and assembles a network of different discussions and practices we decided to focus intensely only on three aspects within performing. These aspects being , "performing not to perform ", twin explorations and gaze.

Our main aims for this project are :
- To outline the key aspects of physical boundaries between a performer and the audience.
- To highlight the moment when a performer intentionally shows a false representation of emotions and rawness within their movement when exposed to an audience.
Our main objectives for this project are:
- To use appreciate choreographic devices influenced by our chosen practitioner Rose Mary Lee which influence and impact the performers boundaries whilst performing.
- By fully understanding the emotions and feelings experienced not just as a dancer but also as an audience member, by participating the exploration as a both a spectator and performer.
Our Methodology's used in this project are Qualitative and Phenomenology.
- Qualitative with which we aim to understand the experience attitude and relationships of our participants. We chose this method to solve questions of a phenomenon exploring questions and answers regarding “what”, “how” and “why”.
- Phenomenological, the understanding of the experience from a participant’s point of view, to provide insights into significant knowledge of human behaviour, human relationships and human experiences. We have additionally decided to count ourselves as participants to further explore the ideas and emotions experienced by our participants. *We chose this method to find crucial aspects of information which will contribute towards answering our Research Question.
