“POETIC… ENGAGING AND INTRIGUING… [L.A. Contemporary Dance Company] I was instantly drawn in… The commitment from the Odyssey to this summer dance festival is extraordinary.”
“ANOTHER REMARKABLE NIGHT FOR DANCE AT THE ODYSSEY… While [Primera Generación Dance Collective] addresses heavy issues of politics, discrimination, identity and stereotypes of the Latinidad experience in the U.S., manages to infuse the stage with lightness, satire and laugh out loud humor along the way…
“OTHERWORLDLY… [Teresa Toogie Barcelo] and her perfect band of misfits urge the deepest feelings out of this sublime atmosphere of the strange, and now all I want to do is dive deeper into it.”
“SUPERB… brilliantly performed by Gabriel Eduardo Jimenez Montes [whose] physicality and focus on detail made ÍNSULA a success.”
“REFRESHING AND UNIQUE… A STUNNING WORK… [Imprints, Hannah Millar] not one movement or action that feels unnecessary or unimportant… beautifully performed.”
