The theme is to combine modern dance and physical theatre. The empirical data derives from two solos that I worked with. The intention being enhancing knowledge about experiences between these art forms. Key questions were what happens when physical theatre and modern dance meet and what emerges from this encounter. Pedagogical approaches were considered.

The methodology is based on several professionals on the field ofperforming arts. Observing, Thinking, Sensing and Connecting (Eeva Anttila, 2007) serving as the guideline. From a phenomenological perspective I realized the benefits of interdisciplinary study. There is a great potential to use emotions and character work as a source for dance making. The method I used was productive and helped to analyze lived experiences raising from the practice.

The work to further develop research intertwining modern dance and physical theatre is essential.
