Turbulence (a dance about the economy)
Oct 4 – 6 at 7:30pm
New York, NY, September 7, 2012 – New York Live Arts will present Keith Hennessy/Circo Zero’s work Turbulence (a dance about the economy) from October 4 - 6 at 7:30pm. A collaborative work, Turbulence is an experimental hybrid of contemporary dance, improvised happening and political theater.Performances will take place at New York Live Arts’ Bessie Schönberg Theater. Come Early Conversations and Stay Late Discussions will also be featured for two shows (see complete schedule below).
A bodily response to economic crisis, Turbulence (a dance about the economy) plays with normative disruptions and calculated disregard for generally accepted rules of engagement. Instigated before Occupy, and engaging questions of debt, value and exchange, Turbulence is intended as both provocation and affirmation of the current global movement. Featured performers include Julie Phelps, Emily Leap, Laura Arrington, Jassem Hindi, Jesse Hewit, Jorge Rodolfo De Hoyos, Hana Erdman, Gabriel Todd, Ruairí Donovan, Empress Jupiter, Keith Hennessy and NY guests Ishmael Houston-Jones, AK Burns, Dana Michel.

Mellon Foundation, the MetLife Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Further support for this project is given by the National Performance Network Performance Residency Program.
