BLOOM
Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice
"BLOOM, as befits its title, grows and expands into a kind of ecstasy...This is a rich, constantly changing work, with the voices spurring it on, pooling into quiet, lifting it higher."
|
Christopher Atamian, New York Press
Stephen Petronio has offered us a precious gift with his latest creation BLOOM: hope...Petronio's dancers displayed the speed and frenetic quality that they've become known for. In the process they achieved an organic whole that was both refreshing and uplifting.
|
Bud Suite
Lise Friedman, ELLE
"Bud Suite accelerates as it grows, until the final movement, when the stage erupts in a rush of entrances and exits and electric partnering."
|
The Rite Part
Wendy Perron, Dance Magazine
"Rarely have I seen an American choreographer meet Stravinsky with such force and deep beauty"
|
City of Twist
Karen Campbell, The Boston Globe
"Petronio.amps it up with a tensile, muscular athleticism. A balletic arabesque falls into a spiral, the body skewed preposterously off balance. Jumps shoot sideways, angled arms and legs trailing. Flamboyant scissor kicks twist in midair. Heads bobble as if on ball bearings. Torsos bend into audacious curves that lead to blistering spins. It's a breathtaking stream of propulsive, virtuosic motion, yet it all feels thought out, carefully structured."
|
Deborah Jowitt, Village Voice
".they fall into embraces, assist one another, make gestures that hint at emotions. But always they dance, as if their lives depended on it, as if even while connections sever and structures spin apart, this world's fragments carry the DNA of wholeness.his marvelous City of Twist , begun before 9-11 but influenced by it, the piece honors the individuality of his heroic dancers..they dance alone and together in a landscape compounded by Ken Tabachnick's splendid lighting.and by Laurie Anderson's rich score; uncannily, the instruments (viola, cello, bass guitar, keyboards and percussion) make you think of voices rising from concrete and bouncing off buildings."
|
Strange Attractors
Marcia B. Siegel, The Boston Phoenix
"Petronio's take on human intimacy comes from the outside in. His dance is a technical blowout, an extravaganza of leaps, turns, extensions - the luxurious torso and arms of modern dance, the crackling footwork and openness of ballet, the strength, artifice and exactitude we expect in the classiest dance forms. His dancers don't signal emotions, they perform with a passion for movement. They become metaphor in the process."
|
Clive Barnes, New York Post
"It is a major creation full of unexpected invention and crystalline beauty. This is one of those works that can define what dance is all about."
|
Lareigne
Debrorah Jowitt, The Village Voice
"Lareigne stays almost numbingly at a boil, rarely dropping to a simmer, except for moments when individuals solo through a grove of motionless
others as if this were a fevered chess game.God, the beauty of the dancers, the ease of their intensity!"
|
Susan Reiter, Newsday
".a heroically beautiful figure, seeming to float through fierce bursts of swirling, dynamic movement. Seven others join in, shot forth so deftly that at times they seem like dozens, their lashing limbs and unfurling torsos expressing infinite possibilities. The beauty of their shapes and the wafting white fabric of the sexy costumes (designed by Manolo) evoke a serene, but perhaps deceptive, coolness."
