Starlings Murmuration

Starlings Murmuration follows the fluctuating hierarchical structures of a group. The dancers mill and swarm, fixating on a central person or point of movement. They rely on each other to become bigger than themselves, but at times stray from the flock - either to return and appreciate their community even more, or to leave and express their individual spirit.

Touring History Includes:

Newburgh Illuminated Festival 2019, Newburgh NY

CreativeMes Dance Festival 2018, Mount Vernon NY

Austin Dance Festival 2018, Austin TX
