MURMURATION, choreographed in 2016, features eight dancers costumed by designer Christine Darch. Set to the music of Gli uccelli (The Birds) composed by Ottorino Respighi, the dance features the dove, hen, nightingale, and cukoo. This piece is heavily inspired by the aerial ballet of the starlings that gather in flocks called murmurations.
