Abstract

This paper intends to look at Process Day, a highly appraised contemporary dance performed during the 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe from a cognitive perspective with an accentuated focus on its choreographic philosophy and the means how it is represented and communicated. This paper argues that the artistic merits of Process Day are rooted in humans' increasing reconciliation of the body-mind relations, enhanced by a tangible confrontation with gender duality, and culminated in an obsession as to how to link hidden sentiments and desires to the ultimate meaningfulness of life.
