In my thesis, I explore the intersection of performance art and contemporary dance, combining both artistic practices through the video and film medium. I analyze the history of each art form separately and seek to intertwine them based on theory and my own findings, aiming to identify their points of convergence. Contemporary dance and performance art share common elements such as the body, movement, space, and time, and it is through these elements that parallels can be drawn between them. By utilizing theory, research material, and literature, I establish the foundation for a short performative dance video film that merges elements of performance art and contemporary dance together.
