“The movements, strongly based on the ballet vocabulary, have an organic feeling, which brings an interesting texture to the stage. The content of the piece is exploration of ever-changing lines with superb movement quality. There are multiple details for each of the characters: one might take a look anywhere on the stage, and there is something happening.” Armando Duarte, Adjudicator, SERBA 2004
1999 Regional Dance Of America Choreographic Award for Dreams, Artistic Director - Gary Taylor
