Abstract
Having lost my own father to cancer when I was seven I felt that my modern dance choreographic senior project would be a wonderful opportunity to explore both dance and death. I was excited to portray through movement the emotions associated with death and dying. I felt that with my in depth research I would be able to come to some sort of conclusion concerning both subjects. However I found, as cheesy as it sounds, that the more I learned the less I knew for sure.
