Press Quotes
-
"…the dance is marked by high contrasts. In the emphatic outer movements, Morris works in tightly furled patterns of energy. [The] dancers, dressed in black, move in crisp, lean formations, springy on their toes, arms scissored behind their backs or clasped upward as if in sudden, fierce prayer."
San Francisco Chronicle -
"The work is not so much dated as dateless."
