561 Words3 Pages

Many people that watch TV often get interested in commercial products because of the celebrity promoting the item.

Although the majority of a population feel soldiers are extremely brave and are seldom afraid of their circumstances, this is untrue.

    "A Snippet of Resurgence" explores the emotional renewal a person experience after a tragic loss. Drawing from my own background, as well as the writings of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in "On Death and Dying," I was able to create a pathway for my dancers to translate their own process of renewal into movement. This collaboration allowed me to formulate work that showcases a fragment of what a person might observe during their own emotional revival.

This allowed me to create three groups, each symbolizing their own level of restoration within the piece.
