An Unkindness of Ravens | 2014

ABOUT THE WORK

A dance for eleven, Ravens builds on two seemingly disconnected ideas. One, a group of people emerging from the rubble of a dance hall that has just been bombed. Two, the at times stunning Machiavellian culture found inside academic institutions. The result is an explosive dance that surges and drives through an austere space towards a moment of inevitable stillness. Ravens was commissioned by the 2014 American Dance Festival Footprints Series.

Co-choreographed by Carl Flink & Eddie Bruno Oroyan
