Abstract
The purpose of this study has been to explore the semiotic potential of choreography in a straight play utilized in a production of Jim Leonard, Jr's, And They Dance Real Slow In Jackson. The study employed elements of the semiotic analysis presented by Jon Whitmore in Directing Postmodern Theatre: Shaping Signification in Performance to emphasize visual and aural elements of production. Included in the study is an overview of the communicative properties of movement. This was a creative thesis project with the method of investigation being exploratory. The thesis is divided into siz chapters with the final chapter providing recommendations for further studies.
