This study is a narrative of the philosophical and chronological evolution of 'rightness' within the context of the choreographic process. 'Rightness' emerged as the central theoretical concept governing the epistemology of choreographic practice. This study was carried out through case-study format and closely examined the processes of four choreographers-at-work. Primary data gathering techniques included observations of rehearsals and multiple interviews with each choreographer. By combining philosophical questioning with a qualitative research design, the study pursued a theoretical line of questioning related to 'rightness' within the real-world settings of choreographic processes. This approach accommodated a deep and thorough investigation of an epistemological phenomenon that has been historically overlooked because of its complexity and intuitive nature.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This study is a narrative of the philosophical and chronological evolution of 'rightness' within the context of the choreographic process. 'Rightness' emerged as the central theoretical concept governing the epistemology of choreographic practice. This study was carried out through case-study format and closely examined the processes of four choreographers-at-work. Primary data gathering techniques included observations of rehearsals and multiple interviews with each choreographer. By combining philosophical questioning with a qualitative research design, the study pursued a theoretical line of questioning related to 'rightness' within the real-world settings of choreographic processes. This approach accommodated a deep and thorough investigation of an epistemological phenomenon that has been historically overlooked because of its complexity and intuitive nature.
520 $a The study concluded that at the core of the choreographer's epistemological process is a capacity to recognize and respond to a standard of 'rightness' within a work that is unique to that work and is discovered through the choreographer's dialogue with the work itself. 'Rightness' as an epistemological concept has its own historical and aesthetic context that influences how it is defined in each choreographic process. Additionally, each choreographer interprets 'rightness' distinctly according to her or his own life experience and engagement with a given work.
520 $a 'Rightness,' whether in the broad context of the choreographer's life experience or in the more narrow context of a specific process, is not static or absolute but rather is dynamic and evolutionary. One can witness its evolution over the life of the artist as well as over the life of a specific choreographic process. It begins to be defined for a specific work as the choreographer frames the choreographic problem. It continues to be defined as the choreographer experiments with the medium and it influences the kinds of methodological choices a choreographer makes. As 'rightness' becomes increasingly clear, the process appears to accelerate as defining moments of 'rightness' occur more and more frequently and the performance date for a work nears.
520 $a A more profound understanding of the epistemological significance of 'rightness' in the context of choreographic processes provides a pathway to further inquiry about the complexities of the choreographer's epistemological challenges. The study of 'rightness' has implications for dance educators, performers, and aestheticians.
