Murmurations — both spontaneous flocks of starlings and the hum of continuous sounds. Drawing on the intelligence of decentralized and adaptive systems in nature, this performance is a meditation on shape-shifting and collective intelligence. Bodies resonate in responsive negotiation of sound and movement, while layered film and video evoke the textures and behaviors of organic systems. Live soaring vocals mix with electronics and choreography, blurring sound, body, and imagery.

“Journey into worlds, physical, spiritual, philosophical and otherwise.” “…otherworldly sounds, seemingly bubbling up from deep within their souls.” — Victoria Looseleaf in Fjord Review
