Dances by Isadora - press quotes |
“…it was a thrill to see the power that these women could bring to the slow, full weight lowering of arms or to the full length reclinings on the floor...Both Duncan’s large-spirited imagination and her musical nerve were apparent.”
-Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times
“With the light, ethereal and even sometimes butterfly-like Gallant, the dances seemed particularly harmonious, performed with an ingenuous lyricism - from the carefree mischievousness in Schubert's " Moment Musical" to the sublimely stern piece " Mother" to music by Scriabin. The solidly put together, dynamic and strong-willed Adams brought music into the dances....In duets, next to the lightness of Gallant, she revealed a unique combination of earth, body and air which was what had distinguished the dance of Duncan herself.”
-Maya Korneva Nezavisimaya Gazela (Moscow)
"After an evening of Dances by Isadora, the feeling of serenity is overshadowed only by the puzzlement over the controversy that surrounded Isadora Duncan...Dances by Isadora directors Catherine Gallant and Patricia Adams bring to life the ideals so important in Duncan's art: free, spirited movement and exquisite musical accompaniment..."
-Janine Parker Kolberg, The Boston Phoenix
“...keepers of the flame.”
-Christine Temin, The Boston Globe
