Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to design a movement concept based upon specific aspects of sleep and dream theory. First, a review of literature explored various brain wave patterns occurring during sleep and the dream process. Next, dream documentations were used to examine the more common images and symbolisms of dreams. These brain wave patterns and dream images were then utilized in the development of movement sequences and concepts for the choreographic work For a brief moment . . .. The culmination of this choreographic thesis was the presentation of For a brief moment . . . at the Bijou Theatre on May 24, 25 and 26, 1984
