Abstract
“Interaction, the direct effect that one kind of particle has on another, any of four fundamental ways in which elementary particles and bodies can influence each other, classified as strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational (www.dictionary.com).” Our interest in interaction and collaboration began the semester before we started our ORCA research. We took a movement analysis class and partnered together on several assignments. We had the opportunity to ‘people watch’ or to analyze personal movement and come to conclusions about what movement can really tell us. Many times in the analysis process, we found our conclusions to be contradictory. This inspired us to see what would come of bringing our personal understandings together through interaction and collaboration in a work of choreography.
