“Love, despite its toxicity and violence…”
Keith's director's notes for Turbulence.....for now: Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine revealed how many of us have prioritized human rights issues (and identity politics) at the expense of economic injustice and more lasting structural change.

Liz and Keith get some work done…
So...Turbulence has become - among things - the accumulation of conversations, dreams, arguments, and ideas of not just Keith and the core collaborators, but also those of our friends and colleagues. When folks come to look at what we're making, discourse explodes. We wanted to share some of that with ya'll. Here's a conversation between SF dancer and friend-to-many-of-us, Liz Tenuto, and Keith, right after the December 2011 showings at CounterPULSE: LIZ My biggest question about the piece was whether the
