Like the starlings' mind-blowing aerials, Murmuration exceeds what an individual brain can imagine or comprehend. The choreography was devised from complex algorithms, made possible by the speed and fluidity of ice. Micro-movements and changes of direction create a domino effect that deflect the trajectory of the group. Everyone is constantly on the lookout, as they explore the dynamic interactions of an exhilarating and sometimes dangerous togetherness. An adrenaline rush for the whole family!

Le Patin Libre (which means "The Free Skate" in French) was formed by a group of former competitive skaters who grew bored of sparkles and medals. Together they are reinventing what an ice show can be; using the theatrical potential of glide as a medium for storytelling.

A special event in collaboration with the Dartmouth Department of Athletics
