“It’s a roller coaster of a piece – an experience of controlled loss-of-control aimed at cracking apart our presumptions of what makes us tick. [...] ‘Blush’ exposes the sadistic underbelly of love as jauntily as the giddiness of community.” “Sexy, reckless and edgy as hell, this performance [is] exciting as high art can get.” “Everywhere you look, there’s a collision that unhinges the nerves, breakneck partnering that wracks the heart. Andrea Miller’s hot dance shows off all these dancers have got — and they’ve got plenty that’ll get you.” “Miller’s work is wrenching and moving and even though you might need a period of recovery afterwards, you’ll find that her works beckon for repeated viewings.” “Miller seems to love creating images of fierce abandon and ungainliness within order, and to make us both laugh and sympathize with the dogged, stumblebum performers—all the while relishing them as the virtuosos that they are.” “The six dancers are excellent, the movement is inventive and Ms. Miller’s way of weaving groups together and teasing them into smaller units is often impressive.” “It seizes your attention and dares you not to get caught up in its delicious strangeness, fierce aggression and raw beauty.” “Throughout, they show a through-the-body commitment — verging on wildness — that adds a certain visceral excitement to this multilayered production. What is most memorable is the dancers’ fervor and undeviating commitment, especially in the most bizarre passages: which makes Wonderland both stirring and chilling.” “They make no bones about jumping about the stage like a crew of crazies, but it’s the individuality of each dancer that keeps you glued to every leap, kick, and lunge around the stage….[Miller's] dancers just might explode if they push and reach any further. Take your eyes off the stage for one second, and you will miss something.” – Gervase Caycedo, Charleston City Paper, May 2010 |
