MURMURATION was choreographed in 2016. MURMURATION is a new work influenced by the music Gli uccelli (The Birds) composed by Ottorino Respighi, featuring the dove, hen, nightingale, cuckoo. This piece is heavily inspired by the aerial ballet of the starlings. Starlings gather in flocks called murmurations.
