Death Systems are the attitudes and practices societies set in place in order to provide structure and allow societies to distance from death (Corr 71). The elements of a Death Sys-tem are the people who work or are otherwise in a role that relates to death and dying, and objects such as caskets, tombstones, urns, etc., that are known to be linked with death.

"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.

With minimal technical elements, my goal was to draw focus on movement qualities and textures of the six dancers. This allowed me to create three groups, each symbolizing their own level of restoration within the piece.
