Using a limited movement vocabulary and specific elements of dance and theatre, the 30-minute duet The Broken Cafe brings together choreographic research and performance with relevant scholarship in sociology, dance, and theatre to develop a unique movement language for the stage. Relying on the moving body as the primary means of communication, I explore the theme of friendship, through an interpersonal relationship, as shaped by the nuance of expressive human movement.v, 39 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
