· In Italian - Set to Vivaldi, Bellini, Verdi, and Offenbach, this sumptuous piece juxtaposes the religious themes of crucifixion and stigmatization, found in Italian Renaissance and Baroque art, with a contemporary, street-style pantomime of Italian conversational gestures.

“In Italian…succeeds as a pure dance piece as it zigzags between celebrating the joy of movement and celebrating the beauty of religious iconography….by its sheer spirit, moves you.” - Thea Singer, The Boston Globe

· Quintet to Brahms - Based on elegant postures swung free, this full-length piece creates an emotional tumult that is as quixotic as the dancers’ 14-inch Russian tutus and their bare feet. The strength and musicality of Brahms resonate throughout.

“Hands pressed together like beaks arms become wings; legs squat and feet rise into birdlike walks and steps. Five dancers…hop twist and turn….all the while they maintain an amusing air of hot house cool.” - Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

· Wine and Roses - Exploring the infinite nature of the human soul, Wine and Roses uses a combination of movement derived from ordinary activities such as driving a car and those improvised from the ritual forms of Tai Chi. The dancers explore fluidity, definitive shapes and flight through the air, while establishing the language of relationships that celebrate wholeness and the connections between us.

“Wine and Roses a Quintet danced to a witty instrumental amalgam of Bach, opera and a selfmocking English song, delicately and pleasurably juxtaposes circumscribed and space-gulping dance.” - Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
