Distortions : a senior honors thesis [(HONRS 499)]

Abstract

Eating disorders have long been a silent nemesis for women. While many different theories as to the causal factors of eating disorders exist, it is undeniable that women suffering from these problems experience uniform psychological ramifications. It was the purpose of this project to express those ramifications through theatre and dance mediums, as well as to awaken a curiosity and concern for eating disorders among those who may not have been previously exposed to the topic. A more thorough explanation of the project may be found in the artistic statement.
