Research Proposal - Case Study
Jack Butler, Shari Marie, Christina Terranova, Sarah Milsted
The changing form of the human body and its extensions have become a critical focus for many modern dance performances; none more so than Craig McGregor’s Crysalis. Crysalis was one of three award winning dance films presented on DanseDanseDanse by Heure d’Ete Productions. In this fantasy world dancer McGregor plays the part of K a half insect, half metal-head-plated human, slithering around in a bath, wired up to futuristic technological devices that seem to give us an insight into his thought processes. Through this piece we aim to derive a further understanding of the ways in which the body is differentially understood in the modern world. Unpacking McGregor’s artistic commentary in Crysalis will enable us to understand more comprehensively his understanding of the ways in which the body interacts with the mind in a technologically mediated environment.

This is a great case study to be working with. In your proposal, I was looking for a clearer structure by which you intend to tackle the work - are there key ideas that connect this work with the readings, or indeed does the work extend them? Proposals need to be less description, and more an overview of the account (and its research process) that you want to give.
