Reflections on the Interpretation and Performance of“It’s What I Do”(2012)'s Cover

Temporarily unlisted

I explore my idea of writing to four chapters. Chapter I, "Introduction" brings out my motivation and methodology.

Chapter II, "Literature Review" is the outward manifestation of my inner journey. Writing through the three pieces in my graduation performance production, I analysis the internal and external dimension of the performative body. To "start by external skills training "and" the training for the purpose of inner emotions and motivation”, these two different ways of performing help me to look back the transformation of the inner emotion and external techniques in this dance journey. Finally, I explore how to link imagination with reality, and to understand the feeling of the role and the link with personal life experience to improve my ability in interpreting the role.

Chapter III, " Back ─ It''s What I Do" , is a brief description of the main idea in these three pieces, including the works meaning , movement development , dancer’s interpretation, stage design , lighting, music , and costume. This chapter is to further analyze the performance with more depth.

Chapter IV, " Reviewing the Body’s Journey " is the relationship between the author and choreographer, dance partners, and the audiences, the chapter is also includes the record of self-reflection. Though my own bodily awareness and inward contemplation, via the view recording and research, I re-examine the practice of the body to enhance the ability of self-interpretation in dance performance. I concluded by reviewing the physical and mental transformation though performances.
