- Public Abstract (ETD)
Undermining Process “S” is a dance project that theoretically investigates the complex emotional and physical stresses of sleep deprivation. This work highlights the causes of how technology, dependency, and work addiction, disrupt normal sleep patterns. The consequences that are focused on include anger, guilt, forgetfulness, and anxiety in general. Considering the societal pressures of needing to be productive, I seek to create an awareness of what may happen if we choose to ignore sleep (viewed as non-productive) and have our minds and bodies deteriorate. Using this dance platform along with projections, I display these possible outcomes through choreographed movement to help engage the audience in reflecting on this subject matter.
