Something about selfmoving the creative flow withinThis thesis paper, Something about Self: Moving the Creative Flow Within, explores the progression of the author's abilities as a facilitator in a creative context through her project presentation SELF(ish): grow(tru)thOUGHT. Along with the subjective assessment of creative facilitation, the underpinnings of the author's creative process and artistic vision are exposed through relevant literature, significant inspirations, personal insight, process comparisons, and imaginative metaphors. The author/artist offers a unique perspective on personal interests collected over the course of her graduate studies. Waugh expounds upon pertinent content such as intuition in creativity, the emotional link to the mind-body connection, dance movement therapy and its effects on states of being, self-realization and self-transcendence. Each of these contextual elements contributed to the creation of exercises for movement generation used in a performative dance work. Ultimately, this paper elucidates a transparent, versatile creative practice and the evolution of a unique, passionate artistry that is based on a balance between structure and flow.autWaugh, WhitneythsMurphey, ClaudiadgcFitzgerald, MarydgcJimenez, CandypblArizona State UniversityengPartial requirement for: M.F.A., Arizona State University, 2012Includes bibliographical references (p. 46)Field of study: Danceby Whitney Waughhttps://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.1472900Masters ThesisAcademic thesesviii, 58 p. : col. ill113458504661630349260150706adminIn CopyrightAll Rights Reserved2012TextDanceFine Artsperforming artsCreative Processmind-body healingmovement generationMovement therapyprocess based methodsself discoveryDance therapy
