A member of Sara Shelton Mann's legendary Contraband performance troupe, Keith Hennessy has been a revolutionary and influential force in the Bay Area's performance community for more than 25 years. In response to both the recent economic and ecological crises, his newest work, Turbulence (a dance about the economy), was instigated before the recent Occupy Wall Street uprising. Like the Occupy movement itself, Turbulence plays with and disregards the generally accepted rules of engagement. A collaborative creation, the work is a hybrid of contemporary dance, improvised happening and political theater and is intended as both a provocation and affirmation of the current global movement for economic justice. It is an experiment not only in performance, but also in developing alternative modes of producing performance. Integrating new cast members for each performance, Turbulence resists fixed or predetermined outcomes; improvisation is seen as both a survival strategy and political tactic. Among the guest performers are well-known Bay Area artists Laura Arrington, Jesse Hewit, Emily Leap, Jorge De Hoyos and Hana Erdman.
