The body is the interface through which a person knows their surroundings, their lives, their relationships, and their culture. Weaving together a discussion of contemporary research in embodied cognition theory and pragmatic philosophy with traditional music analysis and my own physical experience, I explore how four different performance works speak to the body, and so, invigorate and transform meaning, communities, and people.

520 $a The body is the interface through which a person knows their surroundings, their lives, their relationships, and their culture. Weaving together a discussion of contemporary research in embodied cognition theory and pragmatic philosophy with traditional music analysis and my own physical experience, I explore how four different performance works speak to the body, and so, invigorate and transform meaning, communities, and people.
520 $a Chapter one, "Jill Sigman and the Moving Body," examines how choreographer and dancer Jill Sigman creates a multimedia work that is both an investigation and a performance. Through an analysis of Sigman's NAT MUR and supporting research in embodied cognition philosophy, I examine how Sigman, defines, transforms, and reinvigorates language, such as "guarding," "rolling," and "heart."
520 $a In the second chapter, "Diamanda Galas -- Word Made Flesh," I explore Galas's, The Plague Mass and Vena Cava. I describe Galas's full body, compositional practice of "becoming" her subject (in this instance, the HIV/AIDS epidemic) and show how her practice of embodiment creates, communicates, and develops the audience's understanding and experience of her subject.
520 $a In the third chapter, "Bill T. Jones -- Filling in the Virtual Body," I analyze Ghostcatching, an animated dance video created by Bill T. Jones in collaboration with the OpenEnded Group. Drawing on Marc Leman's research on embodied cognition and music technology, I demonstrate how the viewer's physical, lived experience provides the information necessary to understand fundamental aspects of Bill T. Jones's animated body and its surrounding environment.
520 $a The fourth chapter, titled "The Tristan Project and the Knowing Body," explores how Richard Wagner's creation of musical water in Isolde's final aria, accompanied by Bill Viola's video depiction of transitional states of being, helps to communicate a physical understanding of Isolde's grief and subsequent death. These compositional choices support a collective experience of mourning.
520 $a This dissertation ends with a discussion of my compositional exploration of these ideas in my piece There's A Spirit in the Flesh (2011) performed by Donna Costello, Jen Baker, and myself. Written descriptions and scored excerpts of this composition are included in this section. A video of the premier performance can be accessed as a linked supplementary media material through ProQuest or Princeton's DataSpace.
520 $a It is my hope that the essays in this dissertation model a way of using the body as a framework for a discussion of music and multimedia performance. At the root of it, this research explores how we create meaning individually and communally and how this is inextricably connected to the body.
