From their ideas, I propose “concurrence” as a term capable of describing the relationship between dance and music in these works as two equal elements creating a unique common end. I then analyze works by Damien Jalet, Amanda K. Miller, and Alice Klock, three choreographers who approach choreomusical relationships with this method. Through these analyses, I illustrate how “concurrence” can be applied in multiple ways to describe a number of choreomusical relationships.en-USChoreomusicologyMusicChoreomusicalDanceElizabeth SawyerStephanie JordanInger DamsholtThesis/Dissertation
