Choreographer’s statement: Turbulent Wake is a play on words. Wake Turbulence by definition is turbulence that forms behind an aircraft as it passes through the air. It has often been called the “invisible Enemy” for many pilots because planes can get caught in it and lose control.  As an artist, I love to explore the idea of the collective versus the individual and the turbulence it often causes.
