Dance and architecture are two disciplines of creativity that share a special relationship. Both disciplines define and use space as the main medium for creative interpretation. Dance is movement of the human body through space over time. Architecture and its spatial qualities are experienced by the human body through movement over time. To think about space created for and by the body as the common linkage between dance and architecture. I utilized the dance performance theatre as a vehicle of design investigation. By employing spatial concepts as perceived in dance to inform the design of architectural space. I can address the creative process of design through the interchange of ideas from two artistic disciplines. The intent of this thesis is to find an architectural solution for the dance performance theatre that informs the users of dance and allows dance to inform the definition of the architectural space. In this reciprocal dialogue. I hope to expand the vision and interpretation of both architecture and dance.

<Abstract>Dance and architecture are two disciplines of creativity that share a special relationship. Both disciplines define and use space as the main medium for creative interpretation. Dance is movement of the human body through space over time. Architecture and its spatial qualities are experienced by the human body through movement over time. To think about space created for and by the body as the common linkage between dance and architecture. I utilized the dance performance theatre as a vehicle of design investigation. By employing spatial concepts as perceived in dance to inform the design of architectural space. I can address the creative process of design through the interchange of ideas from two artistic disciplines.
