“they overlapped and interlocked (memorably)….telling parts of the dance fabric.”
ALASTAIR MACAULAY, The New York Times“Crisp rhythmic foot work, combined with quirky shoulder isolations, make the piece visually interesting and moments of sustained counterbalances create a connection that goes beyond just dance.”
Julie Fotheringham, iDanz.net“Motifs are developed, disappear and reappear woven together with new ones. The motifs accumulate as the two travel…a satisfying end.”
