ndltd-OhioLink-oai-etd.ohiolink.edu-osu13190357212021-08-03T06:04:03Z Seuss suites: analyzing the creative process from the page to the stage Alpert, Valerie D. <p>The primary purpose of this study is to examine the historical context of choreography which brings literature to the stage, as well as to investigate the works and life of Theodore Seuss Geisel; and to discuss how this information informed the creation of Seuss Suites, an original work of dance, music, sets and costumes, based on the life and works of Seuss.</p><p>It is hoped that this study will inform other choreographers about the exploration of the creative process necessary for adapting a particular artist's life or literature to the stage. A secondary purpose for pursuing this study is to help others acquire a different perspective on creating dances by learning the process of creativity from the literary approach of Seuss and comparing it to the creative process of choreography. Additionally, this study will inform people who may be familiar with Seuss's books about other aspects of the writer's character and will draw hypotheses about how his experiences may have inspired his works.</p><p>Seuss's books were often characterized as absurd and nonsensical, however, they often contained underlying social and political issues. After investigating the fascinating life of this private man, I was compelled to bring his life and works to the stage through dance. Just as Shakespeare's plays have been sources of inspiration to choreographers, so, I was inspired to capture the essence of Seuss's stories and translate them to the stage through dance. My interests were in seeking out any parallels between events in Geisel's personal life and the books he created during those times.</p> 1998 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1319035721 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1319035721 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
