Murmuration

Event Type
Performance
Event Description

Murmuration weaves together improvisational dance, texts written by the ensemble, and original music by Robert Hornbostel.  This experimental work explores the intersection of individuality and community.  The dancers move through a variety of contemporary senarios of mind and imagination in a dynamic, joyful, and thouhgtful fashion.  Each performance will be unique, offering approaches to the question of how to balance self and society.  A murmuration is a flock of starings; as they move in large groups, they ebb and flow gracefully though the sky, forming ever-changing patterns.  humans, similarly, need to find our flock, but just as no two birds fly exactly the same way, each person must also find their own voice and identity.
